Work Permit & Visa Lawyer in Satun — 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 Satun
Satun borders Malaysia both overland at Wang Prachan and by sea from Tammalang pier to Langkawi, has Koh Lipe as its main destination, and is one of the four provinces where Islamic law on family and inheritance is applied in the provincial court, with a Dato Yutithum sitting on the case. The work therefore spans cross-border trade and travel, tourism business, and family and inheritance matters decided under Islamic legal principles.
Family and inheritance cases here are decided on principles that differ from other provinces — shares, heirs, and evidence alike — and importing an approach from elsewhere is usually wrong from the start. We assess the matter against the principles the local court actually applies, run the file from our Khon Kaen head office and Bangkok branch, and travel to appear at the Satun Provincial Court.
