About Thai Visa Pro · Est. 2024

A small studio with one specialism.

We prepare Destination Thailand Visa files. That's the whole brief. We don't do tourist extensions, we don't broker the Privilege card, we don't sell anything alongside. The DTV is the visa that lets a remote worker spend half a decade with Thailand as basecamp, and we wanted somebody to do it properly.

Origin

Why we built it.

Thai Visa Pro opened in autumn 2024, three months after the Royal Thai government published the Destination Thailand Visa rules. Our founders had spent years preparing long-stay visa files for applicants across Europe, so when the DTV launched our inbox filled quickly with a new question: a freelance designer in Lisbon, a Muay Thai trainee in Manchester, a dentist in Cape Town all asking the same thing — could we help with the new five-year Thailand visa?

We said no for a quarter. The DTV was new, the consulate behaviour wasn't yet stable, and the worst thing you can do in this work is improvise. So we read everything published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We tested ten anonymised files through the e-visa portal. We rang every Royal Thai consulate in our usual European catchment to ask, in plain language, what they actually wanted to see in a workcation evidence pack.

What came back was unexpected. The same file sent to London was approved in four days. Sent to Berlin, returned in two with no explanation. The DTV criteria are written once at the centre and interpreted unevenly at the edge, and a first-time applicant has no way of knowing this until they're on their second rejection.

So in October 2024 we opened Thai Visa Pro with a single, sharp specialism. Plain-English guidance, a small dedicated team, and one focus: we only prepare DTV files. We prepare them to the strictest interpretation, every time, so the same file works whether you submit in London, Berlin, Hanoi or Sydney.

Eighteen months in, we've prepared more than five thousand files. Ninety-four percent are approved on first submission. Of the remaining six percent, two-thirds are approved on resubmission within a month. We're proud of those numbers and we're equally honest about what's in the unapproved tail — usually an applicant whose situation genuinely doesn't meet a pathway, and who we should have told earlier.

Principles

Four rules we won't bend.

The DTV market has filled, predictably, with operators promising guaranteed approvals and offering visa runs as a package. We do none of that. We hold to four working principles instead.

Accuracy first

We'd rather hold a file an extra day than send it knowing a field is wrong. Speed is the second virtue. Speed without accuracy gets your file returned and your patience tested.

ii.

Pathway clarity

Every file states the DTV pathway it is filed under, in writing, on page one. Workcation, Soft Power, Medical, Dependants. The wrong pathway is the most common reason for rejection and the easiest to avoid.

iii.

Pre-emptive review

A senior preparer reads every file end-to-end before submission. We'd rather catch the problem ourselves than learn about it from a consulate email written in formal Thai bureaucratic English.

iv.

Plain English

Our checklists, cover letters and email replies are written in plain English. No legalese. The DTV process is bureaucratic enough without us adding our own register of jargon to it.

The team

Three pairs of eyes per file.

Small enough that the person you message is the person reading your file. Large enough that nothing goes out without a second senior review.

Anya Vinitchai

Senior Preparer

Twelve years in Thai consular paperwork, seven of them inside an embassy. Anya wrote the internal style guide we use for every cover letter and runs the final review on Concierge-tier files.

Marcus Devereaux

Pathway Specialist

Marcus runs intake. He's the person who decides which DTV pathway your case fits and, once in a while, the person who tells you it doesn't fit any of them yet. Background in immigration policy at LSE.

Pim Suthatorn

Reviewer

Pim joined from a Bangkok law firm specialising in long-stay visa work. She reads every Workcation and Soft Power file before it leaves us and translates Thai-language correspondence when it lands.

A standing offer

If the DTV is the right visa, we'll tell you. If it isn't, we'll say so.

That last part matters more. A twenty-minute discovery call costs nothing and saves more headache than any cover letter we could write afterwards.
