Residency Intelligence.
Is this a paid role?
This is a community-impact residency, not a job. However, we value your service. Every graduate receives a ฿4,000 cash completion bonus. It’s designed as a "Thai Memory Fund" to pay for a celebratory weekend getaway or high-end souvenirs before you depart.
Purchasing Power
In the Sukhothai economy, your ฿4,000 bonus goes a long way. It covers roughly 80 street-food meals, 20 professional Thai massages, or a full bespoke tailored outfit. It’s a significant "thank you" for your impact.
Why pay a residency fee?
You are investing in a vetted ecosystem. Fees cover your private AC suites, VIP transport, and 24/7 family-led security. We handle the logistics so you can focus on the kids. The cash bonus is our way of ensuring you leave the program with a win.
60-Day Visa Path
Enter under the standard visa exemption scheme. This is extendable locally for an additional 30 days, allowing a full 90-day stay in the Kingdom.
Dietary Integrity
Our professional catering team is trained in Vegan, Halal, and Gluten-Free requirements. We manage all restrictive diets with zero compromise.
Safeguarding
To ensure the safety of our local community and residents, a Clean Background Certificate is mandatory for all 2026 cohort members.
Medical & Safety
24/7 access to Tourist Police (1155) and immediate on-ground support from the family compound in Ban Lum.
Professional Dress
Thai school culture is conservative. Men wear long-sleeved shirts; women wear knee-length skirts. We provide full styling guidance pre-arrival.
Cash Strategy
Standard home ATM cards work best at local machines (220 THB fee per withdrawal). We configured your local SIM card on Day 1 for banking apps.
