of your on Amnesty you cannot convert also they told me.

@Ron *****************

because I have to go out and either apply for a Non O outside the country or come back in on tourist visa and they can convert inside the country. They won't allow me to convert my current visa inside the country. I have been asking immigration for months and same story. I have only been on Amnesty a few weeks. The new Amnesty was announced so I went back last week to see if anything had changed and they said no. I have to leave before September deadline.

@Geir ********

no not at the moment but that may change when the economy starts to crash. After 7 years here they are asking me to leave after September 26th which isn't nice

@Ron *****************

thank you that's good to know.

Permanent residency is difficult to get in Thailand. You have to have lived here a certain amount of time and paid taxes over at least a three year period. Its the first step to applying for citizenship which is even more rare. Years ago they used to call it a green card. It has nothing to do with your visa status.

@Sammy ******

the energy and time it took you to write that you could have just scrolled on by.

It went rather quiet on the subject after initially a announcement but they never ended up on the original list. Contact Thailand Elite to see if they have an update.
