Thailand Visa Assistance

Our Thailand Visa Assistance service covers every step end-to-end: initial eligibility consultation, source-document review, certified translation, liaison with the relevant Thai government office, and international courier dispatch. The handling team includes attorneys registered as Notarial Services Attorneys with the Lawyers Council of Thailand, translators recognized by the Ministry of Justice, and consular liaison officers with 10+ years of experience. Every document carries a different downstream use case — employment, study, immigration, marriage, or commercial filing — and each receiving authority has its own acceptance rules. We plan the shortest and most cost-effective document routing for your case before any fees are charged, and we issue a written timeline so you can schedule your travel or filing with confidence. Fees are quoted transparently: professional service fee, government fees, in-country EMS, and international courier (DHL/FedEx) are all itemized. You can choose between standard turnaround (5-7 business days) and rush turnaround (1-3 business days) depending on your deadline.

The 10–20-day timeline in practice

Post-issuance obligations run automatically: (1) TM.30 within 24 hours of entry (2) 90-day reports every 90 days (3) Re-entry Permit before leaving Thailand. We handle all of it in year 1 with no additional trip fees.

What THB 12,000–25,000 actually covers

Staying ≥ 180 days/year in Thailand makes you a Thai tax resident, which means foreign income remitted to Thailand may be taxable. Our MOF-registered tax accountants plan the Double Tax Agreement (DTA) so you don't pay twice.

The interview and appearance at Immigration Bureau + Ministry of Education

Source-country documents used to file Non-ED Education Visa (school / university / language): 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.

Source-country documents (home country + Thailand)

The Chaengwattana Building B interview takes 15–45 minutes. Our liaison attends and handles document-side questions. For embassy filings, we run a coordinator network at the 15 embassies where Thai residents file most often.

Common mistakes we prevent for Non-ED Education Visa (school / university / language)

Frequently asked

Q1.How long does it take?

10–20 business days from a complete evidence pack. Immigration typically holds Under Consideration for ~30 days — we chase weekly and report every Monday.

Q2.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.

Q3.What is the visa validity?

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

Q4.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.

Q5.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.

Q6.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.

Q7.How much is year-2 renewal?

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

Q8.How is Non-ED Education Visa (school / university / language) priced?

Flat THB 12,000–25,000, 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.
