What is the procedure to apply for Permanent Residency (PR) in Thailand?

to be frank, there are really some legit real cases existed to get a PR. But normally are the big corporation CEO or senior Top management (for sure they might already have certain power and influence in Thailand business market) and also those PR cases I heard granted maybe already more than 2x years ago. I think it is quite hard to get PR RightNow environment, the policies are more stricted or complicated comparing long time ago much more foreigner-friendly.

I would take a look at this group. You will need to have held a work permit for a minimum of 3 years and relevant salary etc.

I hold PR it can be done but you need all your ducks lined up

You can do it by yourself...I would apply through your local immigration office as they will provide initial guidance and timelines...the application fee for Thailand Permanent Residency in 2026 is 7,600 THB for submission and 95,700 THB upon approval...you'll have a brief sit down during the application process where you will have a little back and forth convo in Thai language with the immigration staff...nothing major...you don't need to know how to speak fluently, nor read and write, but if you can do a little reading and writing it will be a bonus in your favor...your local immigration staff should know you from check ins etc so be nice to them and establish a rapport over time...you may even want to catch up where they go for lunch etc so you can further their connection to you...good luck

Look at Thai Citizenship group and he has links there to his website which has very detailed information about if your qualified and what you need to do

Can you converse in Thai—better start leaning to sing Thai anatinal anthem🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The fact that you're calling it a visa means you haven't done even the bare minimum of research on something that takes multiple years to prepare for.

Well Sorry to read all this commands .., YES

It is a long time way to go .

And costs … why u want it ? As a German like Me … its easy

Why would I want to? What sort of extra benefit would I achieve?
