A noter que detenir un Work Permit implique fatalement que vous payez des impots sur place!
+1, comment un étranger peut obtenir un work permit SAN payer d'impôts ???.. puisque la première des choses que on demande est << ou est papier comme quoi vous avez payer des impots...)
resident retraiter c'est autre chose..
En effet...
Un "retraité" (titulaire d'un visa "retired") ne peut pas devenir "résident permanent"...
Il n'aura qu'un visa renouvelable à l'année !
De plus, comme il lui est interdit de travailler, il n'a pas droit au "Work Permit"

Residency (Residence permit)
Advantages of Permanent Residence in
Thailand
There are a number of advantages to holding permanent resident status in
Thailand:
It allows the holder to live permanently in
Thailand, with no requirement to apply for an extension of temporary stay.
In addition to the permanent residence book, an alien registration book will be issued, which is the equivalent of the ID card held by Thais.
A permanent resident can have his/her name included on a house registration document.
Obtaining a work permit is easier for a permanent resident than for a non-resident, but you still need to have a work permit if working.
A permanent resident also has a number of other privileges such as, for example, being able to:
(a) buy a condominium without being required to transfer money from abroad;
(b) apply for naturalization in accordance with the law concerned;
(c) have Thai nationality granted to children who are born in
Thailand;
(d) become a director of a public company; and(e) apply for an extension of stay or permanent residence for non-Thai family members.
The annual quota for granting permanent residency in
Thailand is a maximum of 100 persons per country. The Interior Minister is responsible for issuing the announcement each year that the quota is open for submission of applications, usually from October to the end of December.
The Immigration Commission has the power to define all regulations concerning permanent residency. The Immigration Bureau is the agency that handles all procedures concerning permanent residency applications.
Qualifications of an applicant:
1.
An applicant must have received permission for yearly stays in Thailand on a non-immigrant visa for at least of three years prior to the submission of an application for permanent residency. Holders of multiple NON-Immigrant visas can not apply. You must have 3 un-broken yearly extensions in order to qualify.
2.
An applicant must be holding a non-immigrant visa at the time of submitting an application.
En gros pour les non pratiquants : Il faut 3 ans continu de Visa NON Immigrant pour pouvoir demander le résident Permit qui lui permet d'obtenir un Work permit plus facilement.....
