Our mission

Est. 2014 · Bangkok

We exist to make Thailand open to the world, turning months of bureaucracy into a single, guided path that anyone can walk with confidence.

A home for every Thailand journey

Thailand attracts more long-stay foreign residents than any other country in Southeast Asia. Retirees on the Non-O-A, digital nomads on the DTV, executives on Non-B with work permits, investors on the LTR, and premium residents on the Thailand Privilege Card, every category has specific requirements, deadlines, and compliance obligations.

Local expertise where it matters

Visa Centre Thailand is the in-country expert. We operate from Bangkok and have representatives in Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya, and Hua Hin, close to the Immigration offices that process your applications.

Every stage, one experienced team

Our services span every stage of the Thai immigration lifecycle: initial visa applications at Thai consulates overseas, in-country conversions and extensions, annual renewal management, 90-day reporting, TM.30 registration, work permit applications through the Department of Employment, BOI and Smart Visa applications, LTR applications through the BOI, Thailand Privilege Card membership, and document legalisation.

Official sources, careful preparation

All requirements on this site are sourced from official Thai government agencies and dated. We never invent requirements and we never promise outcomes, but we prepare applications that give clients the strongest possible chance of approval, first time.

What we handle

We do all the heavy lifting

You do: dream it, decide it, send us a few documents, and pick your flight. We do: the eligibility check, the paperwork, the bank-balance timing, the lodgement, the 90-day reporting, and every annual renewal, with a named case manager who actually answers.

That's the trade. You get the life; we carry the admin.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions

Useful starting points before you choose your next step.

How do I know which Thailand visa is right for me?

Start with the Visa Finder or tell us your nationality, reason for travelling, intended length of stay and expected travel date. We can then identify the routes worth assessing without asking you to choose a category first.

What information should I prepare before contacting you?

Your nationality, current location, intended travel date, reason for staying in Thailand and any relevant immigration history are the most useful starting points. Do not send sensitive identity documents through the general message field.

Can I ask for help if I have not chosen a visa yet?

Yes. You can describe what you want to do in Thailand and your likely timeline. The team can help narrow the available pathways before you decide whether to proceed.

How quickly will someone respond to my enquiry?

Web enquiries are reviewed within one business day. If your matter has a genuine deadline, include the date clearly in your message so it can be triaged correctly.

Can I track progress online?

Clients can use the secure portal to view case activity, messages and assigned tasks where those features apply to their service. Access details are provided during onboarding.

Can my partner or family be included?

Some pathways can accommodate eligible family members, while others require linked or separate applications. Tell us who intends to travel so the full family position can be reviewed together.
