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 interview and appearance at Immigration Bureau · Chaengwattana Building B

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.

Source-country documents (home country + Thailand)

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.

Tax residency and DTA planning

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.

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

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.

Who Non-O / O-A / O-X Retirement Visa (age 50+) is designed for — the eligibility test

Frequently asked

Q1.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.

Q2.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.

Q3.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.

Q4.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.

Q5.How long does it take?

20–45 business days from a complete evidence pack. Immigration typically holds Under Consideration for ~30 days — we chase weekly and report every Monday.

Q6.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.

Q7.What is the visa validity?

1 ปี (Non-O/O-A) หรือ 5+5 ปี (O-X). Renewable under the same class. We sell a fixed-price renewal quote from day one.

Q8.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.
