Permanent Residency question

I’m considering applying for PR. What is the full process - I’m married to a Thai National. As a UK citizen, what’s the process for notarising (and apostille) for education certificates. Anyone know a company in Bangkok that can handle the process for a fee (and police report)

I am legally married to my Thai national spouse and filed in Bangkok and the Thailand government. I am ready to join her in living in Thailand soon. Can I simply come on a tourist visa and file for the Type-O when i arrive and then extend to the standard 1yr. until I can apply for permanent status ?

Hi everyone I am just looking for advice and doing some research on moving to thailand. As a 29 year old, how could i move to thailand? I understand i would maybe have to arrive on a tourist visa and then extend after establishing a bank account and having proof of income, but i would like to hear more opinions from others. I also was looking to apply for a 90 day visa and attend a language school but i dont know much about thai language schools. Any advice for a permanently disabled veteran? I WILL be reading every comment and might not reply to most but i appreciate any opinion or wisdom. Should i rent a place in thailand to move to on my 60-90 day visit before arriving and extend by using that rental agreement or is it more complicated than that? In reality I would like to become a permanent resident and spent the rest of my days there.

Hi hoping for a recommendation, looking for a visa AGENT or LAW FIRM that does THAI CITIZENSHIP applications and processing. I have had a residence permit for at least 10 years, and have accumulated enough points to qualify for citizenship already. Just want an agent to handle the paperwork and submission.

First time posting. Thank you for approving me. It's a strong possibility my husband and I will be moving to Thailand within a year or 2. He's a native. I'm trying to research all I can.

Has anyone here had success transferring from a Retirement visa into a permanent residency visa after three consecutive years of visa renewals? We are open to paying Thailand tax to make us more desirable by the Thai government. We are both US citizens. We've lived outside of the US for the last ten years. We have fallen in love with Thailand and we rent a condo in Bangkok. Trying to find a way to stay in Thailand permanently. :)

We would love to have permanent permission to stay in Thailand eventually.
