Speaking the language, having the ability to provide for yourself and having some knowledge of the country you want to become a citizen of should be a requirement for citizenship. It's overwhelming in your best interest to speak the language and have a good knowledge of a country you hope to become a citizen of. You guys at Baan Smile come up with some exceptional topics. Keep up the good work.
You need to mention too if you are married to a Thai citizen you are exempted from the Thai PR route and can apply directly towards the Thai citizenship, and having a Thai Pink ID (Foreign Thai 🪪) and a Yellow ThabianBaan with a Longterm Non- Immigrant visa Exempts you from the 90 Days Report because you will be on the Thai system and you don’t need to carry Your Passport anywhere too , Thanks for the great video 🎉
in 2 to 5 years will hopefully move Thailand and remote work, 80000 was sounding lots, wanna learn some thai before moving, atm living in dark Finland :)
Once you get PR you will still need a work permit if you are working. The documentation is reduced but you still need to get a work permit when working even with a PR. The 90 day for people who don't have PR can be done in person. by post, using an agent or on line (if the website is working )
As a PR holder for about 5 years now, I can say it's abit of misinformation in this video (though most of it is correct). 1. During the application period, you need to get your own extensions based on work as usual. No 6 months extension are given anymore. Several years ago they stopped doing this. 2. If you granted PR and still working, you still need to have a valid Work Permit. Though it's easier to get, and they usually give you 2 years validity.
@@thaikru The interview was short and friendly. They found an interest in where I came from, and one of the officers wanted to travel there. They had some questions about why I settled down in Thailand and so on. I had to wear a suit, and it was the most formal experience of my life.
@Calvin That's interesting. They for sure didn't do that when I applied. They even refused to give me an extension right before my approval, as they found out that we had one staff quit on us, so they forced me to go abroad to apply for a new Non-B visa. I explained to them that the PR department already had green lighted my application. I came back a few days later with a new visa in my passport, and they called my to inform me that that my PR was approved. Well well, good to hear that they make it easier now.
Her statements on Australian Perm Res Visa are incorrect my wife got hers about 12 months ago and no Language requirements were involved. Language requirements only becomes required when applying for Citizenship
It's a good video. I'm from srilanka. But living in emirates. Really I'm happy to visit Thailand. I hope ur video gave me somehow knowledge about Thailand. Great and best wishes... Go ahead dear👌.
I am a Latin American person, I want to reside in Thailand, I mean it is possible to have residency and citizenship but it is complex and complicated, I also know that foreigners cannot own things or properties in their name.
@Baan Smile 90 day check in can be done 1) in person at your local Thai immigratoon office 2) online or 3) by posting the filled 90 day form to Thai immogration
Any idea what happens if someone has a visa requiring them to file a 90 day report, such as an elite visa, but they need to be outside of Thailand for more than 90 days at a time?
Great video! Sorry I'm a little confused about the timing. If I work and pay taxes for 3 years, *then* I can apply? And then it's a further 16 months plus for the application process?
That's correct. Show three years of records, then apply. Then that could take up to 16 months. (Could be shorter). If you think about it, quite similar timeline to many other countries -- check for yourself to see what we mean. We researched it quite a bit.
Informative well done - re tax returns, do you mean the foreigner's tax return in their home country, or tax return filed in Thailand by the foreigner?
Tax returns filed in Thailand by the foreigner. Thailand does not really care about your taxes, assets, or whatever in another country. All that is important is the earnings, bank statements and tax payments in Thailand.
Why do many people want Thai citizenship? If you are a foreign national Apply for a retirement visa or long-term travel If you want to have a house, you can rent it for 50 years comfortably.
hi jenna I like your explanation clear and slow i would like to meet someday and also what is the Best way FOR ME TO APPLY MY THAI VISA COZ I WANT TO RETIRED IN THAILAND ME AND MY HUSBAND CAN GUIDE ME
Hi Baan Smile I applied for 1 year Non-Immigrant O visa Multiple entry but the website said I can only stay up to 90 Days. What step should I take after 90 days? Can I renew this Visa without having to leave the Thailand? What should I do if I want to stay for couple more months to a year? Looking forward to your reply..thank you
Kop khun kap Jaina :) I want to ask something. After I get my permanent residency but decide to go back to my home country indefinitely what happens to it? Does it expire after a certain amount of time?
@@thaikru not true, you have to apply for a re entry permit before leaving Thailand (as it is a SINGLE entry visa). And the re entry permit is valid for 1y so you technically need to come once a year
Hi I just want to ask, can I still be a Thai permanent resident if I'm only 18y? I'm planning to move in Bangkok Thailand when I turn 18, I'm from philippines btw and I'm planning to study there so do I still need to get a visa? And I don't have any family/relatives from Thailand, can it be possible?
Yes. You cannot be a permanent resident of Thailand unless you have a job or business and are making at least 80,000 thb each month for a minimum of 3 years
Informative video, but with some incorrect information. In the case of the USA, to marry a US citizen, you automatically became a permanent resident. Seems like you are mixing up the permanent resident and citizen requirements in your examples.... Also, no language test for permanent residents.
@@thaikru My bad, you have to apply, but you get it. My point is, that your marriage actually means something. No jumping hoops, no English test, you don't have to work and make certain amount of money etc.
@Paul Bee - I also believe just because you are a permanent resident, you still have to renew that visa every year to include add a multi entry exit stamp just like a retirement visa. Permanent resident based on marriage to a Thai also doesn't allow you to work. You want to work, open a business or take a job, you have to give up your permanent residency and apply for a work visa. It's not easy in Thailand if you follow all the rules unless you don't need to work, are retired, etc. Thailand doesn't want people coming to Thailand to work unless they are opening business/investing in Thailand and giving the local jobs - most foreigners in Thailand if they are not working for a major international company are working illegally - statistically I recall from years ago some reading, it was something like 42%, everything from English teachers (most with fake credentials and education claims), scuba diving instructors, tour guides, etc.
Not exactly correct, Paul. First of all, to get a fiance or marriage visa, the immigrant and citizen fiance/spouse have to go through all manner of hoops. Including a face to face interview, detailed investigation, substantiation that the citizen fiance/spouse can fully support the immigrant fiance, and so on. The process takes months before the immigrant even gets the K-1 visa. Once the immigrant is admitted with the K-1, they cannot leave the country, even for a family emergency until they get CONDITIONAL Permanent Residence. My daughter and son-in-law are going through the process right now. And it isn't easy or quick.
Haha ha ha how many farlangs can have work in Thailand, and get 80. 000 pr mounth, as I wrote before I not see any problem in giving people who retire and live with wife a permanent resident, this is nearly impossible for a normal simple farlang, In Germany you will go to school when you enter Germany, that is if you will be married with someone ofcause, in my country its as I wrote me who must have the money, not the Thai, in my country the Thai can go to doctors and hospitals for free go to language schools have work not need permission, ofcause this is if the Thai is married to someone, and can have permanent recidence after 7 years if he or she behave nicely ofcause....

God loves you so much that He sent His Holy Son Jesus from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins, and to be put into a tomb 3 days and rise from the dead the third day, and He (Jesus) went back up to heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and immoral persons & sorcerers and idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone..."

Thanks and welcome
Awesome video, thank you Jayna
🙏
you don't need to take a day off to file a 90 day report you can do it online in about 5 minutes
Many times the system is down. But you are right. Most times its up. Also if its first 90 day report you have to go.
You still need a work permit if you have PR. Renewing it requires very little documentation, but you still need one.
yes, work permit , tax paid history is required! its a big process but worth it! for more information feel free to ask : hello@baansmile.com
@@thaikru I meant that you still need a work permit AFTER you get PR.
Thank you always give such great info.
Glad it was helpful!
This is very interesting thanks for this information. I am still considering which visa to come under in Thailand when I come there.
Hi. im interested. Hav been working 5 years. Now finishing too my grad school in chula.
Thanks for the information. I will take your advice
According to the Asia Foundation about 3 out of 67 million Thai regularly pay income taxes. Is that accurate?
There are 12 million tax payers in Thailand according to the Revenue Department.
Thanks for very helpful video.. I have thai wife but I don't know how to apply for Thai Citizenship .. Thanks for information
I am a Latin American person, I want to reside in Thailand, I mean it is possible to have residency and citizenship but it is complex and complicated, I also know that foreigners cannot own things or properties in their name.
To have permanent residency, at least you have to stay in Thailand 5 years and paying tax 3 years so you will be considered.
@@thaikru: Having Thai citizenship is more difficult.. But not impossible.. Is it possible to have it?😮😮

How we can get 1 year visa please
Hi swadee . Khrup I ask how much slary for pr ? Minimum .
Is ok very good 🙂👍👍
Still have to have work permit..
Yes of course.
Any idea what happens if someone has a visa requiring them to file a 90 day report, such as an elite visa, but they need to be outside of Thailand for more than 90 days at a time?
once you leave the country the 90 day report is non existent, when you re-enter you will need to file a 90 day report 90 days after re-entering

Comparison with other countries is absolutely irrelevant. It would be more helpful to list the specific documentation applicants need to submit.

the 80,000 you have to earn for the entire 3 years? or you just have to be employed for 3 years and have to earn 80k by the time of the application?
