fcbkk Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Perhaps anyone knows, appreciate any info you may have. I have Thai PR, but may have to relocate for new employment abroad, at least temporarily. Is it possible to retain the PR despite working abroad and if yes what would need doing? For example limiting the employment periods to certain max time, or teavelling in/out of Thailand at least X times per year or similar?

ubonjoe Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 It would have no effect on your permanent residency as long a you don't stay out of the country longer than a year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samran Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Make sure you have a re-entry permit and make sure you always renter before it’s expiry, otherwise your PR will lapse. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one year since that is how long the non quota immigrant visa is valid for. Not sure where you got the 180 day number from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcbkk Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 180 days had originally been in my mind also, but i could not find any official source for this. Perhaps it was from tax residency, for which 180 days+ in a country is typically the threshold. But for the PR itself the 1 year visa seems to be all that matters.
