IMMIGRATION & WORK PERMIT LAW
Corporate Immigration, Work Authorization and Residency Advisory Under Thai Law
Structured legal counsel on corporate immigration compliance, work authorization, and residency positioning under Thai law.
Anona International and Consultancy Co., Ltd. provides professional legal services in immigration and work permit matters within the regulatory framework of Thailand.
Our immigration practice advises corporate employers, foreign executives, investors, and individuals on lawful work authorization, visa structuring, and long-term residency compliance.
Immigration matters in Thailand are directly connected to corporate structuring, registered capital levels, employment ratios, BOI privileges, and regulatory reporting. For this reason, our firm integrates immigration advisory with corporate and compliance considerations to ensure operational continuity and legal defensibility.
We do not function as a visa processing agency.
We provide structured legal positioning under Thai immigration law.
Immigration and work authorization in Thailand are governed by:
• Immigration Act B.E. 2522
• Working of Aliens Act B.E. 2551
• Ministerial Regulations under the Ministry of Labour
• BOI Regulations (for promoted entities)
• Department of Employment requirements
• Immigration Bureau internal directives
Eligibility for work permits and visa extensions is influenced by:
-
Registered capital levels
-
Thai-to-foreign employee ratios
-
Corporate tax compliance
-
Social Security contributions
-
BOI approval conditions (where applicable)
Our advisory addresses these regulatory intersections prior to application submission.
Our Immigration & Work Permit Law practice is structured into four principal disciplines:
1. Business Visa & Work Permit (Non-Immigrant B)
​
Legal advisory and regulatory coordination for corporate employment visas and work permits, including:
• Non-Immigrant B visa applications (initial and renewal)
• Work permit issuance and extension
• Employer documentation review
• Capital and employee ratio assessment
• Salary threshold compliance
• 90-day reporting obligations
• Re-entry permit coordination
• Visa extension and change of status
We assess corporate compliance prior to submission to minimize rejection risk and ensure regulatory alignment.
2. BOI Visa & Work Permit
Advisory for foreign professionals employed by BOI-promoted companies, including:
• BOI-linked visa privileges
• BOI work permit coordination
• One Stop Service Center procedures
• Digital work permit issuance
• Post-approval compliance review
• Capital and employment condition monitoring
BOI immigration privileges must align with approved project scope and operational conditions.
3. Long-Term Residency (LTR / Permanent Residency)
Strategic immigration advisory for senior executives, shareholders, and investors, including:
• Corporate-linked immigration planning
• Investment-based residency positioning
• Cross-border mobility coordination

Immigration positioning is evaluated alongside corporate governance and regulatory compliance considerations.
4. Executive & Investor Immigration Structuring
Strategic immigration advisory for senior executives, shareholders, and investors, including:
• Corporate-linked immigration planning

Immigration positioning is evaluated alongside corporate governance and regulatory compliance considerations.
CORPORATE IMMIGRATION RISK
Improper immigration structuring may expose businesses and individuals to:
• Visa cancellation or refusal
• Work permit revocation
• Administrative penalties
• Blacklisting risks
• Employment compliance violations
• Corporate regulatory investigation
Our firm emphasizes lawful structuring and documentation discipline to mitigate such risks before regulatory engagement.
INTEGRATION WITH OTHER PRACTICE AREAS
mmigration matters do not operate independently. Our practice coordinates with:
• Corporate & Investment Law (entity structuring and capital compliance)
• BOI Promotion & Compliance (incentive-based privileges)
• Regulatory & Financial Compliance (tax and reporting obligations)
• Litigation & Arbitration (immigration-related disputes or employment conflicts)
This integrated structure ensures immigration matters remain aligned with broader legal obligations.
