Working legally in Thailand as a foreigner means holding a Non-B (business) visa together with a work permit. We help you get both, and we stay with you afterwards so the paperwork keeps holding up year after year.
There are two common routes into a Non-B visa. You can register your own Thai company and become its director, or you can join an existing company as an employee or director. Which route suits you depends on your plans, your industry and how the company is structured — we walk through the options with you honestly before you commit to either one.
How it works
- We discuss your situation. Tell us what kind of work you plan to do and whether you already have a company in mind or need to start one. We explain which route fits and give you a realistic timeline.
- Company registration or employment setup. If you’re starting your own company, we support the full registration process together with partner lawyers and accountants — from company structure to the documents Thai authorities require. If you’re joining an existing company, we help prepare the employer-side paperwork instead.
- Document preparation. We gather and prepare the paperwork needed for the Non-B visa and the work permit application, checking everything before it’s submitted.
- Immigration and labour office. We coordinate directly with immigration for the visa and with the labour office for the work permit, and accompany you to appointments where needed.
- Ongoing compliance. Once you’re set up, we can continue supporting annual visa extensions and work permit renewals, so nothing lapses.

Good to know
Business and work permit rules in Thailand change fairly often, and requirements can differ by industry, nationality and company structure. We check your specific case before anything is filed, so you know what’s realistic and what it will involve before you commit to a route.
