wasisdn Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Hi, I have a work permit valid until end of June 2016. My actual Visa is Non-B. Years ago I have applied for PR and now Immigration just inform me that it will be approved before end of this month after Sonkran. Now my Question, after getting PR is there any changes in the process to extend my WP for the next year? Or even worse do my company have to apply for a new work permit because my Non-B visa has expire and then I stay in Thailand as PR? Many thanks an advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ubonjoe Posted April 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2016 Congratulations Getting PR will not effect the renewal of your work permit. Just include a copy of your residence certificate book and perhaps your blue house book registry. You might get a 2 year work permit if your contract is longer than 2 years and the company request 2 years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasisdn Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 ok thanks for your quick answer, sounds very good. in other words the only disadvantage after getting PR is I have to pay 3800 baht instead 1000 baht for my 1 time re-entry per year?

Popular Post prakhonchai nick Posted April 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2016 What are the advantages of being a PR? Not having to do 90 day reports, nor having to apply for visa extensions (with appropriate money in the bank). Possible, though not automatic entry into national Parks at the Thai price. That's about it for advantages! Disadvantages are the additional expense of re-entry permits, and the hassle when leaving and re-entering Thailand (especially overland) when Immi officers are not familiar with PR permits. Can take an hour or more to obtain a stamp in your passport (arrival or departure) -often after many phone calls by Immi Officer to bangkok, or at the airport when senior Immi Officers are called. In addition, one time at the Aranyaprathet-Poipet border crossing I was required to sing the Thai national Anthem, in front of more than 150 people awaiting entry stamps. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total 5,700baht! thats what I mean. usually I'll leave Thailand max. 1 time per year. so I need 1900 baht for single non-quota stamp in passport + 1900 baht for endorse stamp in PR book right? with non-b visa I just have a single re-enrtry in PP cost 1000 baht...

Johnniey Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 What are the advantages of being a PR? They aren't worth the money IMHO. Much better to go for citizenship, where there are many advantages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a funny guy, Johnnley,,, without a PR status for several years (not sure about 5 or ++ years) you aren't able to apply for citizenship.....

wasisdn Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 What are the advantages of being a PR? all here only talk about the presonal benefits on PR. of course is nice to have no more visa runs, 90days report etc. But my main reason is certainty (like Morakot already mention) for my family, wife and 13 years old doughter. I'm only 44 and you never know what happen in future to my job, wife or other unexpected things, so with PR I will have much more rights and obligations to take care my doughter (and wife of course). I have no more place of residence in Europe only hold the German passport. with the PR at least I have a legal registration in Thailand and something in my hand. If loose job for example don't have to rush for non-o visa with appropriate money in the bank or have to leave the country (and my home!) within 7 days, I will get enough time to find another job / income in Thailand or elsewhere... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a while I saw them getting easier to do, since the started implementing the online reporting, but then since the visa "crackdown", they seem to be ad hocking a lot of things, asking for more paperwork that requires other people to cooperate, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we have on line reporting the whole issue is very simple and is accomplished by spending a few minutes at the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
