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.

The interview and appearance at Immigration Bureau

The 15–30-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.

Post-issuance: TM.30, 90-day reports, and renewals

The THB 18,000–38,000 fee covers team time (lawyer + Notary + liaison), the evidence pack, filing at Immigration Bureau, interview attendance where required, and the first 90-day report. Government fees and source-country Apostille are itemised separately in the quotation.

The 15–30-day timeline in practice

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.

Source-country documents (home country + Thailand)

Source-country documents used to file Non-O Marriage Visa (spouse of a Thai national): 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.

Warranty and re-filing if the application is refused

Common mistakes we prevent: PCC older than 3 months, unseasoned bank statements, insurance without OPD-IPD coverage, TM.30 filed late. Our checklist blocks each failure mode before submission.

Frequently asked

Q1.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.

Q2.How long does it take?

15–30 business days from a complete evidence pack. Immigration typically holds Under Consideration for ~30 days — we chase weekly and report every Monday.

Q3.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.

Q4.What is the visa validity?

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

Q5.Can my family come with me?

Yes — spouses and children ≤ 20 use the Non-O Dependent pack (SKU VISA-NON-O-DEP), which is filed alongside the principal.

Q6.Does the pack include a Work Permit?

Only the Non-B + Work Permit bundle covers both. LTR includes a complimentary Digital Work Permit. Non-O Marriage requires a separate Work Permit — we sell a top-up pack.

Q7.What happens if I'm refused?

If the refusal traces to our own assessment error, we re-file free of agent fee within 90 days. Client-caused refusals are re-quoted transparently.

Q8.Who files TM.30 and 90-day reports?

We do — for the first year, with no additional trip fee. Year 2 onwards is priced under our low-touch compliance pack.
