Permanent residency

Today I have withdrawn my visa, the third consecutive long stay. Even with this visa? Yup, because after the marriage and its recognition in Italy, is the second argument able to crash the My nervous system, the sympathetic system to be exact, undisputed leader in flight and combat situations. In other words, It takes part in the somatic response under stress, and without discounts. During the renewal of the visa, my sympathetic system answers the eating liver "and if you refuse the request, what are you doing?"With bowel movements of which I can not speak well, not if I get. Also this year it went, Now he will get back to April 2017. I'm happy. Yup. But. This visa is me tight. I can not stand having to apply for a permit to live with my husband and my daughter are Thai. In addition to, notify my presence in the Thai immigration every ninety days it seems madness: and where should I live if not with my family? Return to Italy is not among my plans, I want to live in Thailand because it is the place that I have chosen and "permission", io, not ask anyone.

Last week, leggiucchiavo here and there - embassy and immigration office - since my readers, those who dream of a life in the tropics, They also ask for information on visas for Thai. Two words attract my attention, “permanent residence”, that translated really say little. What does "permanent residency"? Click to deepen, I copy and paste on google translated whole paragraphs to get my bearings. It is a document that may require foreigners, i “farang”, living in Thai. It allows you to stay in Thailand without a visa and without make the notification of 90 giorni. The request is made in November, The site is about a long practice where you expect some talks. It will be like the movie "Green Card", I think. They will want to know if mine is a marriage of convenience and if Lanna is the daughter of neighbors. I imagined they came to my house to count toothbrushes and ask Alee where I keep the bedding - this would be a problem, I do not deny! I keep reading and conditions for the request seem acceptable. I am surprised to see that I have all the papers in order: three consecutive visa NON IMMIGRANT VISA and spouse Thai, with whom I have a daughter. Only annoyance is the annual renewal, that may be made to the district police close to home. Ask for information in person.

After collecting my visa, I go downstairs to request the re-entry visa - if I want to return to Italy on vacation, I have to inform the authorities, worth the extinction of the visa. No comment. While I wait for my turn, I approach the officer who controls the documents before accessing the counters, telling him that I have the credentials for permanent residence. Check my passport and asked me how old are married. Three years. The officer explains that: "I can apply for permanent residence after six years of marriage. On that occasion I will have to prove that they read and speak Thai fluently ". So you do not care to know how many there are toothbrushes in the glass in the bathroom and if my husband knows where I keep the linen? On my face I must have read "but how do I learn stracazzo is absurd language" because in a fatherly tone reassures me: "do not worry, still it has time ".

Sincerely, non lo so. I do not know yet whether the notebooks get myself to write letters file as in first grade, to learn the correspondence between sign and sound - there are more than a hundred letters in the alphabet Thai - and putting together syllables, parole, phrases. What I know is that inside patterns and rules I miss the air. What I know is that perhaps this may be the only reason to learn Cyrillic, word also used to say "do not understand a shit".

I apologize for the brutal language.
