Find a licensed adviser

For advice on your own case, use a licensed immigration lawyer or adviser. Always check they are registered before you pay anyone. Imiatlas does not refer or review cases.

Look for a lawyer registered with the national bar association or law society in Thailand. The official immigration website explains any rules on who may represent applicants.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) & Thailand Board of Investment (BOI)
