Frequently asked questions — Visa & Work Permit in Chiang Mai

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.
