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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Destination Thailand Visa, explained in full

Five years of flexible stays, remote-work friendly, and open to freelancers and soft-power activities. We break down who qualifies, what you'll need, and the fastest route to approval.

What we handle

You Live It. We Handle It.

The whole point of using us is that the heavy lifting stops being yours.

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.

End-to-end case ownership

One team, every step. From your first eligibility check to the moment your passport is stamped.
