Can I immigrate when I buy a house in Thailand? Can non-immigrants live permanently?

Thailand is a non-immigrant country, so buying a house in Thailand cannot immigrate to Thailand. However, the Thai government welcomes people from all over the world to settle in Thailand for the elderly, and has also specially launched a pension plan for foreigners. Foreigners who have reached the age of 50 can apply for an old-age visa as long as they have a deposit of RMB160,000 in the bank or a considerable income certificate and have lived in Thailand for a long time.

Foreigners under the age of 50 can still stay in Thailand for a long time very easily. Ordinary tourist visas can stay in Thailand for 60 days at a time, and then they can be extended for 30 days at a time. For China people who have lived in Thailand for a long time and rarely leave Thailand, they can choose to study Thai or other languages in a language school and get a one-year study visa. The tuition fee is about 5,000 RMB. If you only need a visa and don't attend classes, it's about 2000 RMB.

Therefore, Thailand's beautiful natural scenery and low prices attract more and more foreign investors and foreigners to settle here. Thailand has various visa policies to facilitate foreigners to live in Thailand for a long time.
