Visa & Work Permit in Chanthaburi — About us

Chanthaburi runs two economies that generate their own disputes: a gem and jewellery market where high-value trades still rest on trust more than paperwork, and export orchards — durian above all — where Chinese packing houses and exporters buy at the grove. What follows is payment default, deposits, quality and grading disputes, and Cambodian border trade.

A trade done on trust is not an unenforceable trade — it means the case has to be built from the money trail, delivery records, and surrounding witnesses in place of the contract that does not exist. We have run this class of case for traders continuously. The team works in Thai, English, and Chinese, runs the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travels to appear at the Chanthaburi Provincial Court.

Frequently asked questions — Visa & Work Permit in Chanthaburi

8 questions answered

You must hold a Non-Immigrant B (Non-B) visa before applying for a Work Permit. We handle both the visa conversion and the Work Permit filing together in one process.
Generally the company needs THB 2M registered capital per foreigner and 4 Thai employees per foreigner — except BOI-promoted businesses, which receive special privileges. We check eligibility and plan ahead before filing.
Long-stay visa holders must report their address to Immigration every 90 days; missing it incurs a fine. We track the deadline and file the report online or in person on your behalf.
Retirement visas (O-A/O-X) are for those aged 50+ meeting deposit/income thresholds, while the marriage visa (O) is for spouses of Thai nationals — the financial criteria differ. We advise the category best suited to you.
The LTR Visa (10 years) suits high-net-worth individuals, retirees, remote workers, and skilled professionals, while the SMART Visa targets experts and investors in targeted industries. We assess eligibility and handle the full process.
