Legal Services and Visa Services in Bangkok and Greater Thailand

Year after year, those traveling to the Kingdom of Thailand find themselves wishing they could stay longer. Some people travel to Thailand on vacation and decide to make a go of living and working in the tropical paradise. For others, the thought of spending their retirement years in Thailand is too good a notion to pass up on. Then there are those simply wishing to extend an already pleasant trip into a long term relaxation marathon. Whatever the motive, foreigner nationals wishing to remain in Thailand must have a long term visa. Obtaining such status can be difficult, but luckily there are attorneys and lawyers in Thailand with knowledge of Thai Immigration matters.

There was a time when obtaining a long term Thai visa was simple. Unfortunately for some, the Thai Immigration rules have become increasingly complex over the years as many different agencies have been given authority over different aspects of the Immigration process. On top of this is the fact that Thai Immigration rules remain in something of a constant state of flux which leads to a great deal of confusions regarding the applicable regulations. That being said, the difficulties associated with Thai immigration are not insurmountable. Instead, with proper advice one can accomplish their immigration goals in a relatively fast and efficient manner.

As some in Thailand can attest, dealing with Royal Thai Immigration can be complex and time consuming if one attempts to obtain Immigration benefits while in the Kingdom. In some cases, there may be benefits for those who are abroad. Many travelers preparing for a trip to Thailand opt to apply for a visa while still in their country of residence. In these cases, there is often a much better chance of receiving preferred visa benefits particularly where one has submitted a well supported Thai visa application.

The issue of Thai visas also deals with the issue of Thai Permanent Residence. Thai  Permanent Residence is the right to reside in the Kingdom of Thailand indefinitely.  For those who have been in Thailand for a long period of time, the issue of Permanent Residence is one that should be given serious thought. Very few Permanent Residence applications are approved in Thailand and those that are approved are often well supported. The assistance of an attorney in the Thai permanent residence process could mean the difference between application approval and rejection.
