Visa & Work Permit in Pattaya — About us

Service for Pattaya, Chonburi, and Rayong — the heart of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) and Thailand's largest industrial base, and an investment hub for Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and Korean investors. We act for factories in leading industrial estates such as Amata City Chonburi/Rayong, Laem Chabang, Map Ta Phut, Eastern Seaboard, Pinthong, and Hemaraj (WHA) — labor and termination cases, import-export customs, factory environmental matters, plus real estate and foreign-national cases.

Pattaya, Chonburi, and Rayong sit in the EEC zone with special investment incentives. We set up companies inside industrial estates, obtain Smart Visa and BOI promotion, structure EEC entities, resolve factory labor and termination disputes, handle import customs for machinery and raw materials, and manage factory environmental and safety cases. Our team works in Thai, English, and Chinese — suited to foreign operators in the Eastern region.

Frequently asked questions — Visa & Work Permit in Pattaya

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.
