How we work together

1
Assessment and filing strategy

You fill in a short questionnaire and hand over the basics of your case.

We assess the risk — past stamps, refusals, overstays — build the filing strategy and fix the final price with no hidden charges.

2
Assembling the document package

You collect the documents from our checklist — bank statement, certificates, photo, bookings.

We audit the documents: statement format, translations, dates, wording. You get corrections back.

3
Filing and communication

You complete the e-Visa form under our supervision and pay the consular fee.

We run the process, track the status and help you answer any follow-up request from the consulate.

4
Visa issued

You enter Thailand.

We check the issued visa for consulate errors and give you border-crossing instructions.

Common mistakes

01
Gap in visa or work permit

Any gap in your consecutive Non-Immigrant visa or work permit resets the 3-year clock.

02
Annual quota filled

Each nationality has a limited number of slots. If the quota is full, you wait until the next year.

03
Thai language interview

The interview is conducted in Thai. Basic conversational ability is expected.

FAQ

How long does PR take?

The process typically takes 1–3 years from application to decision. There is no guaranteed timeline.

Does PR lead to citizenship?

PR is a prerequisite for Thai citizenship. After holding PR for 5 years (or 10 years total residence), you can apply for citizenship.

Can I own property with PR?

PR holders can own a condominium unit in their own name. Land ownership has additional restrictions.

What if my application is rejected?

You can reapply the following year. Rejection does not prevent future applications.
