Work Permit & Visa Lawyer in Krabi — 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 Krabi
Krabi is an international tourism province — hotels, resorts, and service businesses with substantial foreign investment and residency — while inland it remains large-scale palm and rubber. The recurring issues are beachfront land and contested title documents, hotel and service-business licensing, foreign holding structures, hospitality labour cases, and plantation disputes.
A good deal of southern beachfront land has a title history that must be traced back before purchase or investment, because the problem surfaces at the construction-permit or transfer stage. We trace the history first, every time. 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 Krabi Provincial Court.
