So no residence permits for nomads in Thailand?

[churumbelo]

I do not understand what you mean by residence permit and why you would need it? If you want to live in Thailand get a DTV and you can live in the country for 5 years. It is a cheap visa and easy to get.

 

[Clank]

what do you mean under "permits for business"?



@mmedvedenkoxxx333 admin does not allow messages in foreign languages here.
however I do confirm that Thailand is not an easy country to get a PR/citizenship.

It’s probably one of the easiest in Asia, taking into account getting a citizenship in an Asian country is already very difficult and sometimes impossible.

Why not a new dtv visa?

 

[inector]

opening a business will get you a temporary residence permit

No, they give out Non-Immigrant B visa for that. 90 days. Not residence permit. Also you need 2mil THB in capital and 4 Thai employees

I said I am Russian, can’t work / have a business abroad without a permit

Not residence permit

I do not think, maybe I am mistaken, there is such a thing as a residence permit in TH. There are different type of visas that allows you to stay for XYZ time in Thailand, and then there is also a work permit. The permanent residency, after been working in the country and paying taxes for 3+ years, it is possible to apply.

You mean because you are Russian you cannot own a US LLC, UK LTD, company in UAE, Cyprus, Estonia, and so on? I am unaware of this.

I can, but no bank account would take me without residency somewhere outside of Russia.

Still can’t find anything viable other than Employer of Record.

Other countries like Argentina just give out residence permits for nomads, business owners, etc. Sadly Thailand isn’t the same.

Can't you just go to the Russian embassy in Thailand, show them your DTV visa and ask them to update the address in your passport?
If you have a passport that shows a Thai address, that should probably count as a residency permit...?

No, they give out Non-Immigrant B visa for that. 90 days. Not residence permit.

which is a temporary residence permit.
after the first 90 days you can extend it for 1 year, then again for 1 year, and so on.

Also you need 2mil THB in capital and 4 Thai employees

you need it only on paper

the registration paper which Thai immigration staples into your passport does not work a residence permit and is not accepted by any bank/KYC service, the work permit does work.

How to apply for a permanent residence permit after 3 years without knowledge of a thai language?
Had Thailand waived a language knowledge condition?

 

[cckuhqilfownnfctux]

to get one you will have to reside in the country for 3 (AFAIR) years, provide proof of paying taxes and demonstrate knowledge of the Thai language.

No idea if they have. I know someone who got it, but I did not ask him about it. I just mentioned the requisites that I know for sure. I do not know if there are more.

 

[NewHorizonsParaguay]

Please, others, correct me if I am wrong. If you want to live in Thailand (dtv will do that). For your business purposes, can you get residency in a different place? Argentina, as you mentioned, Uruguay, and Paraguay; in another thread, I read that the Philippines have a similar kind of program.

Maybe I am missing something tho.

theres like a ton of russians in phuket, what do they all do to handle this?
They have specialisted telegram channels / whatsapp gruops all for this, maybe you can get into these.
Maybe you can find what you need there? While not familiar with that matter and just from an outside observer role, id say it must work somehow for all these people.
