How to apply for a long-term visa in Thailand What are the requirements for a long-term visa in Thailand?

In fact, it is really troublesome to apply for a visa every time you travel. When you go to Thailand, you should feel how troublesome it is to apply for a visa. What is the solution once and for all? This method is to apply for a permanent visa. Let's take a look together. Path 1: Work visa

Work visa is the most common way, and there is only one condition, that is, you can find a formal job in Thailand, and the company should be willing to help you with the work visa (at least, you should be willing to provide the materials needed for relevant handling).

Generally speaking, it is not difficult to find a job if you know Thai and have low salary requirements, but it is not so easy to find a good job, which is no different from that in China. However, it should be noted that many companies are reluctant to help with work visas, because it will increase the extra cost for the company, so they must ask about the company when looking for a job.

general processing method: you can come to Thailand with a tourist visa or a business visa, and then you have to apply for a work permit first, and then take the work permit and related materials to the immigration office to apply for a work permit. All expenses are about less than 1RMB. Path 2: students sign

student visas. There are three situations I know. The first type is regular international students, such as exchange students in universities. In this case, the school will naturally help you get a visa, needless to say.

The second one is that the local language school in Thailand can help you to apply for a student visa. Of course, you may not really study, which is equivalent to paying money. However, this approach is a policy sideswipe. After the Bangkok bombings, Thailand's management of foreigners' entry and exit has become strict. This approach is being severely cracked down, and its feasibility is estimated to be very low in the short term.

the third type is to send children to study, including kindergartens, primary schools or middle schools. In this case, students can sign in advance in China and then come to Thailand. The general handling method of the third case: first of all, of course, you must find the school you are attending, let the school provide you with relevant information, and then apply to the Thai consulate in China, and the cost should not be very expensive. Route 3: signing by relatives

as the name implies depends on the visa of relatives, but this relative is limited to immediate family members. For example, if one spouse has a work visa in Thailand, the other spouse can apply for a pro-visa, or if a child is studying in Thailand and a student signs it, the parents can also apply for a pro-visa, but only for one parent.

according to the personal signature, it can be handled in China or in Thailand. The information required for signing in person is relatively complicated, because it involves kinship, so it is necessary to provide all kinds of notarized and double-certified kinship certificates, such as marriage certificate, child's birth certificate, kinship certificate and so on. When processing, you will apply for a temporary visa for three months first, and then go to the immigration office to change it into a one-year dependent visa before the expiration of three months. The cost required is about 5RMB (excluding the cost of notarization and certification of materials). Path 4: pension sign

You can apply for a pension sign as long as you are over 5 years old and have a certain amount of funds in a local bank in Thailand (it seems that it is 8, baht or more). The specific handling process is unknown. Path 5: wedding sign

I don't need to say much about this, as long as everyone who can read should understand it, and I don't think most people should use it. Summary

Up to now, I know the above five ways to get a long-term visa in Thailand. In fact, many people stay in Thailand for a long time by going out of the country every three months through business visas. However, Thailand attaches great importance to whether what you do in China meets your visa. In other words, if your business visa is just a gimmick, and you just stay through this visa to engage in other things, then once it is found, it will be in trouble, especially during the current crackdown, so this is not a really legal way.

The so-called long-term visas are not permanent and valid. They are basically one-year visas and must be renewed before their expiration. Moreover, generally speaking, it is not allowed to leave the country within one year by default. If you need to leave the country and come back halfway, you can go through the formalities of returning to the immigration office before leaving the country (the cost is unknown). If you need multiple round trips, you can apply for another entry-exit permit (the cost is 38 baht).

Thailand's policies will also change frequently, and they will be implemented at will. The specific requirements of different cities and even different outlets in the same city will be different. Therefore, if conditions permit, you must know clearly the materials required by the local immigration bureau and the handling process.

The above are just a few ways that I know to stay in Thailand for a long time, for reference only. As for whether Thailand is good or not, whether it is worth coming to work, study and live in Thailand is a matter of different opinions. Everyone has different answers. I think only the one that suits me is the best.
