Work Permit & Visa Lawyer in Pattani — 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 Pattani
Pattani is the lower South's fishing, seafood-processing, and halal food base, and one of the four provinces where the provincial court applies Islamic law on family and inheritance with a Dato Yutithum sitting on the case. The work spans labour and standards at processing plants, trade contracts and debt recovery, land and inheritance under Islamic legal principles, and family matters.
Food-processing plants here must hold production standards, halal certification, and labour requirements simultaneously, so a single dispute can put several certifications at risk at once. We map the full effect before setting the approach, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Pattani Provincial Court.
