FAQ
- TRV, Study Permit or Work Permit?
- TRV (Temporary Resident Visa) covers tourism, family visit, short business — up to 6 months per entry, single or multiple. Study Permit needs a Letter of Acceptance from a DLI (Designated Learning Institution). Work Permit needs either an LMIA-backed job offer or LMIA-exempt category (intra-company transfer, IMP).
- How long from Bangkok?
- TRV IRCC processing target 30–60 days for Thailand nationals (visa-required). Study Permit 8–12 weeks. Work Permit 8–20 weeks depending on LMIA status. Biometrics at VFS Canada (Chamchuri Square, Silom) within 30 days of the request letter.
- What is the Strong Buyer / dual intent issue for Thai applicants?
- IRCC officers look for genuine temporary intent (proof of return). Common refusal grounds: insufficient ties to Thailand, purpose of visit not credible, financial capacity unclear. We pre-empt this with a bilingual purpose letter, six-month bank flow, employment continuity, and property/family ties documentation.
- Fees?
- TRV CAD 100 + biometrics CAD 85. Study Permit CAD 150 + biometrics CAD 85. Work Permit CAD 155 + biometrics CAD 85. Our service THB 8,000 (TRV) to THB 35,000 (Work Permit + LMIA assistance). Family class sponsorship higher on request.
- Refusal handling?
- Canada does not offer a formal appeal for TRV refusals. Options: (1) reconsideration request within 14 days if procedural error, (2) fresh application addressing GCMS notes (we retrieve notes via ATIP), (3) Federal Court judicial review for serious errors — we coordinate with a Canadian-licensed RCIC partner.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the DTV and who realistically qualifies?
- The Destination Thailand Visa is a five-year multiple-entry visa allowing stays of up to 180 days per entry, extendable once per entry by a further 180 days at an immigration office. It targets remote workers employed or contracted outside Thailand, freelancers with foreign clients, and participants in Thai soft-power activities such as Muay Thai training, cooking courses or medical treatment, and it requires evidence of at least THB 500,000 in available funds.
- How is the LTR visa different from the DTV?
- The Long-Term Resident visa is a ten-year visa administered by the Board of Investment for wealthy global citizens, wealthy pensioners, work-from-Thailand professionals and highly skilled professionals, and it bundles a digital work permit, a flat 17% personal income tax rate for the skilled-professional category and annual instead of 90-day reporting. The DTV is cheaper and faster but grants no work permit for Thai-sourced work and no tax privileges.
- Can I work in Thailand on a tourist or DTV visa?
- No — any work performed inside Thailand requires a work permit or an equivalent digital work authorization, regardless of where the employer or client is located. The DTV is intended for work delivered to foreign employers and clients; taking on Thai clients or a Thai employer requires switching to a Non-B or LTR pathway with proper authorization.
- What most often causes a Schengen or UK visa refusal from Thailand?
- The dominant causes are weak evidence of ties to Thailand, bank statements that show a sudden unexplained deposit shortly before filing, inconsistencies between the application form and supporting documents, insufficient or non-compliant travel insurance, and an itinerary that does not match the stated purpose. Refusals are recorded, so a re-application must directly address the refusal ground rather than simply resubmit the same file.
