Camerata's Guide To The Permanent Residence Process
I applied about the same time as Scorecard when we thought it was really difficult but it was actually much easier (and much less expensive) than it became only a few years later. I used the business category which I can also confirm is the most widely used category and the least hassle. The poster who said it is difficult may have confused it with the investment category which is more difficult because the business you have invested in needs to undergo detailed scrutiny in addition to yourself and you still need a WP. So business owners are advised to apply under the business category and save the trouble. The category where everyone seems to get rejected out of hand, is the humanitarian category for those who have a Thai wife and/or kids but are not working in Thailand. With a Thai spouse they may be able to make the minimum income requirement using the spouse's income. This category may have been added with good intentions but the reality is that your application will be rejected out of hand by the good folk at CW, if you attempt to apply under this category without also having a WP which is in the list of required documents for the category. Someone reported in this thread that he went to CW with a Thai lawyer who forced them to accept his application without a WP on the grounds that the regulations do not specifically require one (other than on the checklist) and it is after all a humanitarian category. The lawyer did manage to get them to take his application with ill grace but we he never posted again, leading to the suspicion that his application went into the circular file at CW, I had 7 years of WP when I applied like Scorecard because in the absence of threads like this one I didn't have a clue how to apply or what the requirements were until I really looked into it. There was a lot of misleading information around and people variously said you need 5 years or 10 years with a WP, neither of which was true. It was officiallly 3 years and I am not sure, if 7 years' WP were required unofficially. It was certainly not true that you had to be with the same company for 7 years or even 3 years. A colleague of mine had to change companies because we shut down our business entity and entered into a jv with a Thai company. He applied after less than a year with the same company and got his PR. Another colleague tried to apply in about 2015 but was told they had just introduced a requirement to be with the same company for one year and was told to re-apply the next year, if still with the same company. Some time after that they introduced the requirement for 3 years with the same company which is the current requirement. In the 90s before the xenophobic Thaksin regime put the blight on PR and citizenship applications and slowed everything down, Immigration undertook to approve all successful applications before re-opening the window for the next year's batch and were generally able to achieve this. There was 3 batches of PR approvals in March, September and December after 3 meetings of the Committee for PR, I was in the December batch which was nearly 12 months after I applied. A friend who was very proud of his wife's senior police connections was approved in the June batch only 6 months after he applied. My approval was signed by the outgoing PM and interior minister who had just dissolved parliament but made a point of clearing his desk at the Interior Ministry before he went. Sadly hat seems a bygone age now. Today we hear nothing but reports new measures needed to combat foreign criminals living in Thailand. -
