Work Permit & Visa Lawyer in Ranong — 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 Ranong
Ranong is a maritime crossing to Kawthaung in Myanmar and a fishing and cold-storage base with one of the country's highest reliance on migrant labour. The cases that arise are migrant labour and work permits, fisheries and vessel licensing, customs procedure and seized goods, seafood supply contracts, and debt recovery between operators on both sides.
Fishing and cold-storage operations can be inspected on labour, licensing, and customs at the same time, and answering one front at a time without the whole picture tends to produce statements that contradict each other. We align the entire response, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Ranong Provincial Court.
