  • Keep up with requirements that differ between embassies and change often.

  • Prepare, translate and check every document yourself.

  • Handle any questions from the embassy or immigration office on your own.

HOW WE HANDLE EVERY VISA

  1. Personalised checklist. Sent by email and WhatsApp the moment your payment is confirmed, based on your consultation and where you are applying.

  2. Documents in. Send what’s on your list, such as your passport and a head-and-shoulders photo (a selfie against a white wall works). Our automated system files each document to your case and alerts the team as soon as it arrives.

  3. Ongoing review. Our AI checks each file’s metadata, as the embassy does, then a team member reads every line of every page. If anything needs fixing, you hear straight away and Customer Support helps you sort it.

  4. Senior sign-off. When your file is complete, a senior member of our Visa Services Team rechecks everything and signs it off, usually within 24 to 48 hours.

  5. Embassy submission. We let you know when it’s time and submit to the Thai embassy or consulate on your behalf. Customer Support helps you set up the account, so the outcome is emailed straight to you.
