Visas
Your visa, as well as your home
Finding the right home is only half of moving to Bangkok. You also need the right visa, and the rules change often. As well as finding you a home, I handle visas myself: I help you choose the right one and look after the application for you, so you can settle in with fewer worries.
Visas I handle
Destination Thailand Visa (DTV)
Who it’s for: Remote workers and digital nomads, and people who come for a course such as Thai cooking, Muay Thai or a language class.

Who it’s for: People aged 50 and over who want to retire in Thailand.

Family and marriage (Non-Immigrant O)
Who it’s for: Spouses of Thai nationals, and parents of Thai children.
What it is: A one-year extension of stay based on your family, with its own income or savings rules.
Work and business (Non-Immigrant B)

Not sure which one fits? Tell me about your situation and I’ll tell you which visa suits you best and what you’ll need.
How it works
- 1
Tell me your situation
Your nationality, why you’re coming, and how long you want to stay.
- 2
We choose the right visa
I explain your options, the documents you need, and the current costs and timings.
- 3
I handle it for you
I prepare and submit the paperwork, then look after the follow-up reports so nothing is missed.
After you arrive
A visa is not the only paperwork. I also help with the reports that every foreigner living in Thailand has to keep up with:
- TM30: your landlord or host must report your address to immigration. Read my TM30 guide.
- 90-day report: a separate report of your address if you stay longer than 90 days.
- Extensions and re-entry permits: so you can leave and return without losing your visa.
Let’s sort out your visa
Send me a message and tell me where you’re from and how long you’d like to stay in Bangkok. I’ll come back to you with your options.
