I thought you had first got PR in 2001, so did you somehow lose it and then had to re-apply back in 2021?

My BIG printing  mistake I meant December 2001, May 2002 and August 2004. Thank you for pointing that out. In all my years in Thailand I have never met another "farang" that has PR.

I've met only 2 others:

- Retired lawyer from respected international law firm, applied for PR I guess 12 months before retirement. 

- The farang guy who worked with me for many years, he applied, got approved, six months later died of a massive heart attack.

I know several, all of whom applied and succeeded on the employment basis as opposed to the marriage basis (even though for those that were married, the fee would have been significantly lower.) I assume the thinking for those who had a choice was that the same criteria applied but there would be less bureaucracy involved. Also their PR status would be entirely personal.
