The Following Qualifications and Requirements for Residential Permit in Thailand
One of the main services offered by the agency is helping foreigners get a Residential Permit. If you are certain that Thailand will be your new home, it is recommended that you apply for this permit at once. You can easily get this once you meet the following qualifications for eligibility:
1. You are a holder of a passport bearing Non-Immigrant Visa and have been granted a one-year extension to stay in the country.
2. You have been staying in the Kingdom for at least three years up until the submission of the application.
3. You have a good criminal record
4. You must meet the final requirements set by the law; at least TBH 10,000 for investors, TNH 50,000 monthly income for those seeking employment, and at least a TBH 80,000 worth of savings for those who are not here for other personal reasons.
Usual Documents Needed for Residence Permit Application
• TM.9 – the official application form
• Personal information sheet
• Health certificate secured from a government hospital
• Map of residence or place of work in Thailand
Visa Application
The Immigration Bureau also issues visas under the following categories:
• Tourist – Initially valid for 60 days and renewable at the agency’s discretion.
• Visitor Transit – This grants a 30-day stay for transit visitors and holders of tourist visa not permitted to work in the country
• Non-Quota Immigrant – Applicable to former residents who lost their “resident status” and wanted to resume their residency in Thailand
• Non-Immigrant – This is granted to aliens seeking extended stay in the country either for work, business, or other personal reasons. This can be classified into different categories: business visa (B), dependent visa (O), diplomatic and consular visa (D), mass media visa (M), expert work visa (EX), study or observation visa (ED), investment visa with the legal provision on investment promotion (BOI B), and capital investment visa (IM).
You may get in touch with the bureau for more information.
