If it was in reverse, my wife gets her resident permit, almost automatically granted if your married, can live, work even claim social support benefits, all for the rest of her life, eligible for citizenship after 3 yrs.
^ Do you really wanna be Thai ????
You don't have the kind of coffee shop I was thinking of in Patong. ;)Quote:

It would be good if they put spaces between the words in their hieroglyphics. Sometimes it makes my brain hurt trying to work out where one word ends and the next one begins.
All farang be rounded up and shot at dawn, all except an 'elite group' of 'super ex-pats' of my choosing with licence to roam the land raping and pillaging as we go.:)
We would of course start up a Thailand Ramblers' Association also.
Listen girly, when are you going realize that they look at you as if the dog just excreted you.Quote:

Re: Residency - I see nothing wrong with the permanent residency rules. Easy to get if you want it.
I'll be controversial here and say I want Thailand to be a republic.
Many of the things people wished for in this thread would happen if this were the case.

Extremely hard. First rule is that you have to be married and living as man and wife. NR isn't to the second part.There are no private adoption agencies, only government ones. I tried when I first came here but gave up because of the bureaucratic shit.Quote:

Only the government office in BKK can tell her that but my experience would be to say no. But rules are changed all the time.Quote:
