Documents Required

Original document to be certified (or freshly issued certified copy within validity window)
Copy of national ID or passport, signed and dated as a true copy
Power of attorney (if a representative will handle it) with a 30 THB revenue stamp
Destination details: country, receiving authority, purpose, and required deadline

Step-by-Step Process

1. Send scanned copies of source documents to us via LINE/email for free initial review.
2. Our team confirms eligibility, issues a written quote and a guaranteed turnaround.
3. You deliver originals to our office (or book a Bangkok pickup) and pay a 50% deposit.
4. We translate, certify, and submit to the relevant Thai authority in sequence.
5. Final documents are scanned and emailed for your review before physical dispatch.
6. We ship by EMS domestically and DHL/FedEx internationally, with tracking numbers.

Timeline & Fees

Standard turnaround: 5-7 business days from receipt of complete originals.
Rush turnaround: 1-3 business days (rush surcharge applies).
Government fees are charged at official rates with no markup.
Domestic EMS at Thailand Post rates; international DHL/FedEx at actual weight-based rates.

Common Pitfalls & How to Avoid Them

Originals out of validity window — many destinations require documents issued within 3-6 months. Confirm with the destination authority first.
Name mismatch between document and passport — embassies reject these. Correct it at the district office before translating.
Using a translator without an official seal — MFA and embassies will not accept it; you'll restart the chain.
Skipping MFA legalization before the embassy step — wastes multiple trips and weeks of time.

Who Non-B + Work Permit Bundle (end-to-end for staff and executives) is designed for — the eligibility test

If a refusal traces to our own assessment error (not client-caused), we re-lodge free of agent fee within 90 days. Includes rebuilding the evidence pack.

Warranty and re-filing if the application is refused

Non-B + Work Permit Bundle (end-to-end for staff and executives) has a checkable eligibility test — age, financial standing, criminal record, and demonstrable Thai economic nexus. We run a 30-minute fit-gap before we start, so you know it will pass and see a fixed total cost.

Common mistakes we prevent for Non-B + Work Permit Bundle (end-to-end for staff and executives)

The THB 35,000–65,000 fee covers team time (lawyer + Notary + liaison), the evidence pack, filing at Immigration Bureau + Department of Employment, interview attendance where required, and the first 90-day report. Government fees and source-country Apostille are itemised separately in the quotation.

Tax residency and DTA planning

The 25–45-day window measures from complete evidence to visa sticker. Immigration issues an 'Under Consideration' stamp for up to 30 days — we chase status weekly and report to you every Monday.

The interview and appearance at Immigration Bureau + Department of Employment

Source-country documents used to file Non-B + Work Permit Bundle (end-to-end for staff and executives): home-country PCC (FBI/ACRO/AFP), 6–12 months of bank statements, translated + Apostilled birth/marriage certificates, employer/company letters. Thai-side documents: ภพ.20, บอจ.5, audited financials, sponsor's house registration.

Frequently asked

Q1.What is the visa validity?

1 ปี (ต่ออายุตามสัญญาจ้าง). Renewable under the same class. We sell a fixed-price renewal quote from day one.

Q2.Do I need a Thai bank account?

Depends on class. Non-O Retirement needs THB 800K seasoned two months. Marriage needs THB 400K. LTR can use a source-country Certificate of Residence. We open the bank account for you.

Q3.How long does it take?

25–45 business days from a complete evidence pack. Immigration typically holds Under Consideration for ~30 days — we chase weekly and report every Monday.

Q4.Do I have to be in Thailand?

Depends on class. Non-B, Non-O, LTR, and DTV can be filed offshore. Marriage or Retirement in-country requires an interview at Chaengwattana.

Q5.How much is year-2 renewal?

Quoted at day one, typically 40–60% of the first-year fee since evidence prep is largely reusable.

Q6.How is Non-B + Work Permit Bundle (end-to-end for staff and executives) priced?

Flat THB 35,000–65,000, all-in agent fee. Includes the lawyer, Notary Public, liaison time, and the first year's 90-day report. Government fees and source-country Apostille are itemised separately.

Q7.What tax rate applies in Thailand?

Staying ≥ 180 days makes you a Thai tax resident. LTR holders may qualify for a 17% flat rate; Non-B/Non-O holders are taxed on the progressive scale. Our MOF-registered accountants plan the DTA.

Q8.Can I get a full VAT invoice?

Yes — issued in your company's name with e-Tax Invoice support, withholding-tax handling, and HR-friendly formatting.
