Can I live permanently after buying a house in Thailand?

Thailand is a non-immigrant country. If you buy a house, you can't live permanently.

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. Any foreigner over the age of 50 can apply for an old-age visa and live in Thailand for a long time as he has 654.38+0.6 million RMB (800,000 baht) in the bank or a considerable income certificate (65,000 baht per month). Thai pension visa holders can't work in Thailand, but they can do business and invest capital.

Foreigners under the age of 50 who want to live in Thailand for a long time can be divided into the following situations.

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.

Business visas are issued more than once a year, and they need to enter and leave the country once every three months. Work visas are issued more than once a year and renewed every year.

Study visa: 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 5000 RMB. If you only need a visa and don't attend classes, it's about 2000 RMB.

Thailand's immigration policy is very strict, so the number of immigrants collected each year is also very small, but it is not impossible to apply. You can refer to the following ways to apply for immigration.

1, Marriage Migration: Foreigners who marry Thai nationals can obtain permanent residency. However, if a foreign man marries a Thai woman, the children born to him must follow his father's nationality and are only allowed to stay in Thailand and are not allowed to enter Thailand. If a Thai man marries a foreign woman, the child can acquire Thai nationality.

2. Relatives Migration: If the spouse and parents (including adoptive parents), children (including adopted children), brothers and sisters are Thai citizens, China citizens can apply for immigration to Thailand.

3. Skilled migration: Special professionals or people who have made great and outstanding contributions to Thailand can apply for immigration to Thailand.

4. Investment immigration: Foreigners who invest not less than 6,543,800,000 baht can obtain permanent residency after consulting with the approval of the Ministry of the Interior. The investment projects of foreign investors must conform to the investment projects. (1) The Investment Committee will not consider the details of the project, but will consider the investment scale, investor qualification and shareholding structure (common stock); (two) the investment funds must be invested in the common stock of a limited company established for the implementation of investment projects;

5.？ Work and settle down: apply for work and settle down in Thailand (there are places), and apply for permanent residence after three years.
