Foreigners seeking to apply for Permanent Residency in Thailand have in the past faced a short one-month time frame in December to begin the process.  This year, the Immigration Bureau has granted potential applicants more leeway by extending the application period to four months from 1 September until 31 December.

Other aspects of the application process remain unchanged, including a quota of no more than 100 permits per nationality over the application period. For more information on our immigration practice, click here.
