Thailand permanent residence: security and reach.
How far this permit travels, the days it costs to keep, and where it leads — years to permanent residency and citizenship. The whole deal, with official sources.
How secure it is
“Days to keep” — the physical-presence rule that keeps the status alive — is the column no other index publishes. It’s also exactly what Countly counts.
Automatic lapse if outside Thailand more than 12 consecutive months without a valid re-entry permit/approved exception.
Overstaying the 12-month absence limit without permission; criminal conviction; conduct deemed a threat to national security/public…
staying past 183 days typically makes you a tax resident — a different count, also worth tracking.
