Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of getting Thai permanent residency?

The first thing that comes to mind is that you no longer have to file a 90 day report, every 90 days, to extend your stay through other visas. You can buy property in Thailand, though only condos - no land. You can become a director in a Thai company, get house registration in the Ta Bian Ban system (blue book), and can apply for Thai citizenship after five years of continous residence.
