Johnniey Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 What's the time it takes to get this after the initial application? What's the total cost ? I've been here working for 20 years, married with kids. I can speak Thai. I don't want to have all the visa hassles when I'm older.

petertucker48 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Do you have $2,000,000 otherwise don,t bother. They don,t want Falang in Thailand !!! Why should they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryLH Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 "Do you have $2,000,000 otherwise don,t bother." What a silly thing to say. Check out the links in post number 2. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_brownstone Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 You need either Permanent Residence status (which takes a minimum of 3 years) or be married to a Thai Citizen before you can apply for Citizenship yourself. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano2274 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) I thought that a man married to a Thai could now go straight to Citizenship. Does the OP have extensions of stays or visas? Does the OP have a valid work permit? Many things to take into consideration, read the links provided.

Does the OP have a valid work permit? Many things to take into consideration, read the links provided. Yes, I do have extensions of stay and WP. I read links and can give them all they ask for. So, it costs 5,000 baht to become a citizen. It seems obviously better than applying for a Permanent Residency. It seems much easier than I thought. I had thought that passing Por 6 Thai exam was needed. Although I read Thai, I write so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had thought that passing Por 6 Thai exam was needed. Although I read Thai, I write so well. The main thing is to have a reasonable salary and have paid tax on it for the past 3 years. From memory, an average of 40K a month in income is what is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I thought but the tax would be minimal on 40k and there are so many posters on here that say the payment of substantial taxes is paramount. Best thing is to apply and see what happens. Am sure each case is taken on individual merit regardless of the tax system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GT-I9100T using Thaivisa Connect App According to the information I have, you can also fulfill the income requirement if you can show proof of income tax payment of Baht 50k in the year prior to the application and records of payment for at least three years.
