GuestHouse Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 In the event that you do get your PR don't forget to get a re-entry visa if you for some reason leave Thailand. If you do not your PR will be cancelled and it is back to square one. Now, what does that P stand for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnniey Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I have a charming personality and I guess I just hang out with the cool crowd as they have taken a liking to my jokes. I'm not hi-So and my friend I'm pretty sure you wouldn't know one if you saw one.As for Thai apologist, well I have a Thai passport and I am now apologising for making you look like a dill on this thread. Does that count? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaParent Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 It isn't as if Special Branch is being flooded with applications. Those who have been down there know the nationality office is a sleep nook of an afterthought at police HQ. They refuse most peoples application form. How do you suggest we apply, when they won't accept the form? There is a quota of 100 applications per nationality, I doubt they receive that many to have problems exceeding the quota. You are talking about PR. No quota for citizenship. As for your other post, if you are married to a Thai, as a make, you can skip the PR stage since 2008 as has been the case for foreign women married to Thai men. Below is Arkady's post on the issue. http://www.thaivisa....ost__p__4899466 Yes, I was talking about PR quota, which is what I thought was being referred to. And my figures are based on my situation which is not married to a Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetCowboy Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) On another thread there is a link to an expat survey http://www.thaivisa....ost__p__4992617 http://expatexplorer.hsbc.com/ Based on the reported experience of expats, Thailand rates as the best experience and personal economic conditions (i.e. best standard of living) for expats, but add in "Raising a family" and it drops out of the top ten. You could go into more detail on the specifics, but one of the things that I miss is safety. I don't feel my children can have the same independence that they could have in the UK, Hong Kong, or Singapore; though on the other hand, I would still rate Thailand as safer than say the Philippines, Vietnam or many other countries... SC EDIT: Just noticed that when using "Raising Children" as a criterion, countries below the top ten are not ranked, due to small sample size. So we don't know if Thailand is eleventh, or bottom. In fact, Thailand could be ranked in the top ten, but with insufficient data to justify a classification... I'd better fill in my questionnaire, then...

sirchai Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I work from home which allows me to see my son and daughter all day, every day; wouldn't change it for the world...certainly wouldn't "give my hind teeth" to go months without seeing them. Forget the job; you will never get this time back, better to live poor and be with ones you love... But sorry dude. How can you do it when you don't have a job in this country??? You should understand that it's a different ballgame when times are changing and you DO HAVE TO MAKE MONEY TO SUPPORT YOUR LOVED ONES.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the closest to a job offer I've had from any of those countries for a few years now... My apologies - in case you are not being sarcastic I'll answer the question in good faith (no offence taken, either way) Given the current circumstances (cost and waiting lists), I think it would be difficult to get the kids into a school of comparable calibre in HK or Singapore. The UK is a possibility but it is quite far away... If I were to move to HK or Singapore, it would be for better money, more challenging work, greater security, peace of mind and convenience for the family. Working where I am, I can afford to keep my family in Bangkok, but not Singapore or HK, regardless of whether I would want to. SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when I say "Forget the job", i mean "Forget this job" (a job that keeps OP away from family), and find a different job which allows him to see them.
