For some context, I'm an American citizen with alien permanent residency status in Taiwan, and I'm interested in enrolling in Chiang Mai University's Education Visa program. I'd like to do this via the Thailand Trade and Economic Office in Taipei. However, I just went to the Thai eVisa website, and it stated that I was not eligible to apply through the eVisa system. Any guidance on what I should do?

So I have been living and working in Japan for around 15 years or so, but have never really needed to get my PR, so haven't gone down that route. I have a spouse visa though. Does anyone know if this is going to be good enough to apply for the DTV in Tokyo or is it strictly PR? Can anyone with experience please share their insights? I've read mixed reports, but mostly stating PR is a must. TIA!

Can a Farang get a Thsi citizenship/passport?

I'm planning to work remotely in Thailand in the next few years, and from there I'm planning to live in Thailand for the rest of my life.

What visa is a way to progress for receiving a Permanent Resident in Thailand?

I have just noticed my visa type is not non-B as I expected but something called non-RE, something I have never heard of before. I work in BOI company and have a WP. I am aiming to get the permanent residency next year. Am in in trouble?

Does a DTV visa qualify you for permanent residency in Thailand if staying for at least 3 years?

I need some advise. I have purchased a one bedroom apartment in Bangkok for Thai bhats 1,500,000/- (aprox US$ 50,000/-)

If I want a permenant visa what do I have to do. ? Everytime I visit Bangkok on my US passport they give me 30 days only.

Please advise how to apply for a permanent visa where I can stay as long as I like and not worry about restrictions of days of stay in Thailand. Thanks in advance for all your help.

I contact ato - they said as a citizen you never lose tax residency. He asked 2 other ppl he works with who also confirmed this. He said only way to lose it would be picking up citizenship in another country.

Hello,

I have a few questions regarding the bank statement to prove the 500k THB, although I scrolled the group posts by searching, I couldn't find something similar to my situation (apologized if my questions were actually already answered):

1. I'm a French citizen, with Permanent Residency in Taiwan. I have worked in Taiwan for 6 years, so I can show my salary slip until June 2024.

2. I recently started a new job. It's a consultant contract, with a Singaporean company, starting from July 2024 to December 2024. Same here I can show my contract and my invoices for July+August payment.

3. The thing is, I made few big operations with my Taiwanese bank account so currently my Taiwanese account doesn't have 500k THB.

4. However, in France we have a family shared account, (I have the power of attorney for this account but it's not under my name, my parents'), where we do have more than 500k THB.

Questions:

1. Would you advise to transfer money from the family account to my own personal account? Or a statement proving that I have the power of attorney would be enough?

2. If I do need to transfer on an account under my name: Is transferring to my French bank account would do, or is it better to transfer directly to my Taiwanese account, which I used daily for the past 6 years (I received all my salary on this account)?

3. I understand that each embassy/office have different rules regarding the period we have those 500k THB in the account.

Let's say I do the necessary transfers next week, would you recommend Taipei or Vientiane? I have family in both cities so its convenient for me to stay there few days, hence those two options..

Thank you in advance for your answers!

Any word on what happens after the 5 years on DTV? So far it appears it’s renewable again. But what if that changes and you’ve built your life in Thailand kinda thing?
