Your Legal Partner for Immigration and Employment Compliance in Thailand
Thailand has strict rules for foreign nationals who wish to work or stay long-term in the country. Failing to meet these requirements can result in fines, deportation, or denial of entry. Working with a law firm that understands the intricate legal framework of Thai immigration and employment regulations is the most effective way to ensure that your application and continued presence in Thailand are fully compliant with Thai law.
The Thailand Lawyer Service is well-versed in handling a wide range of cases, including non-immigrant visas, business visas, marriage visas, retirement visas, and the essential work permit for lawful employment in the Kingdom. We serve foreign individuals, international companies, SMEs, and start-ups with equal precision and professionalism.
Visa Services Offered by Our Thai Law Firm

Key Legal Requirements for Visa and Work Permit in Thailand
Understanding Thai visa and work permit regulations is crucial before initiating the application process:
The foreign applicant must have a job offer or contract from a legally registered company in Thailand.
The employer must fulfill requirements such as minimum capital, number of Thai employees, and business activity criteria.
The visa must be obtained first before applying for a work permit.
Certain professions are restricted or prohibited for foreigners under Thai law.
All foreigners working in Thailand must carry their work permit at all times and perform only the duties stated in the permit.
Our law firm ensures that you meet all of these requirements and stay updated with any legal changes that may affect your status or application.

90-day reporting at the Immigration Office
Annual renewal of visa and work permit
Timely notification of any job or employer changes
Exit and re-entry permits for international travel
Address changes or company relocation reporting
