FIND OUT ALL ABOUT THAILAND VISA SERVICES

IF YOU WANT TO STAY IN THAILAND FOR A LONGER PERIOD, OR EVEN WORK, YOU NEED A THAI VISA AND, IF NECESSARY, A WORK PERMIT. VIOLATIONS ARE SEVERELY PUNISHED IN THAILAND

If you are planning to stay for an extended period to work, retire, join a family, or relocate under a long-term program, you will usually require the appropriate Thai visa and, where applicable, a work permit. Immigration violations in Thailand can lead to serious penalties, so it is important to select the correct visa category from the outset.

At Sanet Legal, we support our clients with Thai visa services, including applications, extensions, and immigration procedures in Bangkok. We help individuals, families, professionals, investors, retirees, and long-term residents understand the correct process for their circumstances.

Visa or Permit?

There is a fundamental difference between a visa for Thailand and a permission for a stay of up to 60 days in Thailand without a business purpose. This includes tourist trips or, for example, visiting relatives and friends

This permit is usually issued by the official at the immigration counter when you enter the country. The duration of the permitted stay is noted in your passport. if you do not apply to the Office of Immigration before, exceeding the time limit will be expensive at your departure date. Yet, an Office of Immigration can even be found in some shopping centers in Bangkok. So watch the deadline of your stay.

ATTENTION: Under no circumstances may you work with such a permit in any way. You cannot work whether to pay or free of charge. This also counts for example if you help friends or relatives with their business

The Application Procedure, Extension, and Costs

Visas issued abroad must be extended in most cases. The application must be submitted to the Immigration Office before the visa expires. The requirements can vary from year to year; immigration officers may request additional documents depending on the case, sometimes even during the ongoing extension process.

Because of this, professional support is often advisable, especially where timing, documentation, or long-term planning are important.
