Wow. I got PR more than 17 years ago. I don't wish to gloat, not at all, but back then the interview was obviously a much easier process. And the fees were much less
The documents required to be submitted is probably the same then as now, and I'm aware that a very large percentage of applicants were 'knocked out' at the initial inspection of the documents, plus more 'knocked out' at the interview stage.
The interview process was just one visit, and one friendly interview, with a captain (porkong) mostly in Thai, and about 15 minutes total.
After the interview he asked me to wait outside, but within just two or three minutes he called me back and said 'approved' and shook my hand.
He then said in English, 'you will get an approval letter within about 14 days, but if it doesn't arrive soon after the 14 days please call me and I'll persoanlly follow up quickly', and he gave me his card. It did arrive about 10 days later.
In the year I got approval the total successful applicants from my home country was 5 people.
Good luck.
Amazing!!! Wow...things were much simpler back then.
