Visa & Work Permit in Laem Chabang — About us

Laem Chabang is Thailand's largest deep-sea port, and the legal work here is unlike anywhere else: it turns on goods in motion. Tariff classification and customs valuation being questioned, post-clearance audits reaching back over past years, cargo damaged or lost in transit, disputes with freight forwarders and warehouse operators, and labor cases involving the sub-contractors who staff the port area.

Customs matters are decided by the records and by the first submission, so we start by reviewing the classifications and valuation structure in use to find where they are fragile — before anything is filed. We work directly alongside the client's import-export team.

Frequently asked questions — Visa & Work Permit in Laem Chabang

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.
