Getting a visa is a project with an end date. Keeping a status valid is not: it runs on dates you did not choose, at the Immigration Bureau, for as long as you stay. Asia Relocation Thailand holds that calendar, from the yearly extension to the address report, so nothing comes due unnoticed.
The half of immigration work that never appears in a relocation brochure happens after the visa is approved. Permission to stay ends on a date printed in your passport, and is extended only if a file is presented before it. Anyone staying beyond ninety days owes the Immigration Bureau an address notification every ninety days. A single-entry permission is spent the moment you fly out unless a re-entry permit came first.
None of these obligations sends a reminder. They come due whether or not anyone is watching, the penalty falls on you rather than on your employer, and most of the trouble we repair started as a diary entry nobody kept. The report and the extension are two different things: the authorities state plainly that one is in no way equivalent to the other.
Asia Relocation Thailand keeps that calendar from an immigration desk in Bangkok that deals with the Bureau in person: extensions started early, re-entry permits before each trip, reports filed on your behalf, a change of category handled when your situation changes.
This page starts where a visa has already been granted. Obtaining one, or a work permit, is its sisters' work.
Each item is quoted on its own, and each is dated in writing.
One household, one coordinator: the first visa and the calendar after it are sequenced together.
Same office, same coordinator. What differs is what triggers each one.
Applied for before the permission in your passport expires, against the purpose the visa was granted on: the job, the family, the retirement. The first extension also counts as your ninety-day notification.
Obtained before you leave the country, single for one trip or multiple for a year of travel. Without it, a single-entry permission is spent at the departure gate in Bangkok.
Owed every ninety days by anyone staying that long, within seven days before or after the due date, at the Bangkok office or the provincial one. Leaving and re-entering resets the count to zero.
A visitor who found a job, a spouse who married, an employee who retired: the basis of the stay has changed, and where the rules allow it the category is changed inside Thailand rather than by leaving.
A stay closed properly, with the work permit cancelled and the permission understood, so that leaving Thailand does not become an overstay on your record.
Permission expiry, next report date, planned trips. Every date the household owes, written down once and held by us.
An extension begins before the bank letter is due, not after, so that a missing document is still a problem with a solution.
Our Bangkok desk presents the extension, obtains the re-entry permit and files the report as your authorised person, at the office your address belongs to.
Each filing produces a receipt the next one depends on. We keep them, and we move the report date when a trip abroad resets the count.
The permission renewed against the job each year, in step with the work permit, and a re-entry permit for every business trip out of Bangkok.
An extension a year and a report every ninety days, at the provincial office, with the financial evidence prepared the way that office reads it.
A spouse and children whose extension depends on the principal's, and whose dates we keep on the same calendar so nobody's lags behind.
Regional roles that leave Thailand every few weeks: a multiple re-entry permit, and a report date that moves every time the count resets.
Residents of Bangkok, Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani report to the Bangkok office; everyone else to the immigration office for their province.
The Immigration Bureau assigns each foreigner to the office for the place they live, and the extension, the report and the re-entry permit are filed there. Bangkok handles the capital and its two neighbouring provinces; Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya, Hua Hin and Samui each have their own office, and practice differs.
Our desk deals with the Bangkok office in person and follows how the provincial ones apply the requirements this month. When a client moves from Sukhumvit to Phuket, the office changes with the address, and so does the file we prepare.
