Getting Permanent Residency here in the Land of Smiles without being married to a Thai or investing in millions of baht in the local economy is like winning the Thai lottery....at best! |

Taken from Siam Legal's website:
- Must hold 3 consecutive 1-year visa extensions.
- Must have a valid work permit for 3 years at the date of application.
- Must earn 30,000 Baht monthly income (for those married with Thai spouse for 5 years) and 80,000 Baht monthly income (for those who are single).
- Applicant must present 3 years of tax statements proving the above income
On a teacher's salary being a single man it seems damn near impossible unless you're working at an international school. You'll have to do an interview and take a test in Thai language. If your application is accepted you'll then have to pay around 190,000THB receive your residence book. |

You will have better luck winning the Thai lottery here than receiving Permanent Residency...especially if you are an EFL teacher on Bath wages...Mission Impossible at best!!!!! |
