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
Thinking TM30 is the foreigner's job

Section 38 of the Immigration Act puts the duty on the owner or manager of the residence, not on the foreign guest.

02
Skipping TM30 before a 90-day report or extension

A current TM30 is often required before Immigration will accept your 90-day report or extension application.

FAQ

Do I need TM30 if I stay in a hotel?

Hotels file TM30 automatically. You need it when renting an apartment, condo, or house where the landlord has not filed.

What if my landlord refuses to file?

You can file on behalf of the landlord at the local immigration office, but you will need property documents. We can help navigate this.
