Well, it’s been a bit of a journey, but today I got my Long Term Residency permit from the Kingdom of Thailand. I still need to do annual reporting (unless I leave the country), and I will have to go in when my passport expires in a couple of years, but basically other than housekeeping, I have 10 years of not having to deal with the immigration department. Have to say, that makes all the paperwork and effort worth it 😎
