Work Permit & Visa Lawyer in Chumphon — Non-B, Non-O, LTR, BOI Smart Visa, 90-Day Reports
Thailand's immigration regime ties three things tightly together: the visa (Non-B for work, Non-O for marriage/retirement, LTR for long-term residents, Smart Visa for BOI-promoted talent), the work permit (issued separately by the Ministry of Labour and only valid for the specific employer and role on the permit), and the 90-day report (required of all foreigners staying continuously for 90 days or more). Getting any one wrong invalidates the others. We handle the full application chain, the renewals, and — when things go wrong — overstay resolution and appeals against denied applications.

About our team in Chumphon
Chumphon is the gateway to the South and simultaneously an oil-palm, rubber, durian, and fishing province. The work that arises is crop purchase and buying-yard contracts, agricultural debt and enforcement, plantation land and inheritance disputes, labour cases at palm-oil mills and cold stores, and migrant labour in fisheries.
Labour cases in fisheries and cold storage carry an inspection and international-standards dimension as well, not merely an employer-employee dispute. We address both together so that solving one does not create the other. The file is run from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and we travel to appear at the Chumphon and Lang Suan Provincial Courts.
