Thailand Starter Kit: Move to Thailand With Confidence
Relocation Support for Expats

Move to Thailand
without the chaos.

Most people spend months researching their Thailand move and still get caught out. Wrong visa, bank account rejections, a lease in the wrong neighborhood. We have helped hundreds of expats avoid these mistakes. Getting properly settled takes longer than people expect. We make that part shorter.

🛂

Which visa do I actually need? LTR, Elite, DTV, Non-B, retirement. The options keep expanding, each with different requirements and renewal conditions. Picking the wrong one is an expensive mistake to fix.

🏦

Can I even open a bank account? Thai banks apply requirements inconsistently for foreigners. Most expats visit multiple branches before finding one that helps, and often still arrive with the wrong documents.

🏠

Where should I actually live? Bangkok alone has dozens of distinct neighborhoods. What works for a retiree often does not work for a remote worker. Facebook groups will give you five different answers to the same question.

📋

What paperwork comes after arrival? TM30 filings, 90-day reports, address registration. The bureaucracy does not stop once you land. Most expats discover these requirements only after missing a deadline.

Why Thailand Starter Kit

Most relocation services
stop at the visa.

The internet is full of Thailand relocation advice. Most of it is contradictory, outdated, or written by people who left years ago. By the time you arrive, you are still not sure what you are doing.

  • 01
    We know what is current

    Thailand’s immigration rules, banking requirements, and rental market change regularly. Our team lives here full-time. We are not working from a guide last updated three years ago.

  • 02
    We are here through the hard part

    The tricky part is not the flight. It is the first 30 to 90 days: documents sorted, accounts opened, lease signed without getting taken advantage of. That is when we are most useful.

  • 03
    We cover the whole setup

    A visa gets you into the country. It does not open your bank account, find you an apartment, or explain what TM30 means. We help with the full picture, not just the part that sounds official.

What most companies offer
  • Handle the visa, then disappear
  • Outsource your questions to third parties with no local knowledge
  • Give the same generic advice regardless of your situation
  • No ongoing support after the paperwork is filed
  • No accountability when the process hits a snag
  • Written guides from people who have not lived here recently
  • Nothing beyond immigration. Your move is your problem.
What’s Covered

The full setup,
not just the visa.

Getting the visa is step one. Here is what comes after, and what we help you get right.

🛂

Visa Guidance

We match you to the right visa for your situation, explain the actual requirements, and help you avoid the mistakes that mean starting over.

🏦

Bank Account Setup

We know which banks work with expats, what documents you actually need, and how to avoid wasted trips to the wrong branch.

🏠

Finding a Condo

We help you understand which areas suit your lifestyle, what a fair price looks like, and what to check in a lease before you sign.

📱

SIM & Apps Setup

The right SIM plan and the apps you will actually use, sorted before you need them rather than after you are already stuck.

🏥

Healthcare & Insurance

Which hospitals are close by, which insurance providers pay out reliably, and what a basic health setup actually costs in practice.

📋

TM30 & 90-Day Reports

Most expats miss their first report because they did not know it existed. We walk you through the requirements so your stay does not start with a fine.

✈️

Airport Pickup

Someone who knows the city and the traffic, and can answer your first-day questions on the way in. Day one goes better than you would expect.

🚗

Thai Driving License

Converting a foreign license or getting a Thai one requires specific documents and a specific process. We tell you exactly what to bring and where to go.

🐾

Pets & Schools

Pet import requirements are strict and the lead time is long. School quality varies by area. We give you an honest picture of what each involves.

Who This Is For

Right for some.
Not right for all.

This service is designed for people making a genuine long-term move. If most of these apply to you, we are probably a good fit.

  • Planning to stay for at least a year, not just testing it out
  • Navigating Thai immigration and bureaucracy for the first time
  • Do not have months to spend piecing the setup together yourself
  • Want to avoid expensive mistakes before you make them
  • Frustrated by conflicting, outdated advice online
  • Value getting things right over getting things cheapest
  • Moving as a retiree, remote worker, entrepreneur, or family
  • Would rather ask someone who has been through it than guess

“What is the real cost of doing this alone?”

  • ⚠️
    Wrong visa choiceThailand’s immigration options have expanded significantly in recent years. A wrong choice can mean a border run, a fine, or restarting the process from scratch.
  • ⚠️
    Renting in the wrong areaBangkok has areas that look similar online and feel completely different to live in. A 12-month lease in the wrong neighborhood is an expensive way to learn this.
  • ⚠️
    Bank account rejectionsThai banks apply requirements inconsistently. Most expats visit multiple branches before finding one that works, often with the wrong documents anyway.
  • ⚠️
    Poor insurance coverageInsurance quality varies considerably. Some providers are slow to pay out, exclude conditions in ways that are not obvious, or have hospital networks that do not cover the better facilities.
  • ⚠️
    Paperwork you did not know aboutTM30 and 90-day reporting requirements catch most new expats off guard. The fines are small individually. The hassle of sorting them out while still getting settled adds up fast.
From Expats Who Made the Move

What people say
after they’ve settled.

I had been researching for six months and still felt completely lost. One consultation cleared everything up. I knew exactly which visa to get and where to start looking for a condo.

David R., retired teacher, relocated to Bangkok

The airport pickup alone made the whole thing worth it. Having someone walk me through the bank account, the TM30, and the SIM card in the first week made a huge difference.

Sarah M., remote designer, relocated from the UK

My husband and I tried to do it ourselves and wasted two months. We wish we had found this service sooner. We are settled, happy, and we avoided all the expensive mistakes we nearly made.

Jennifer and Tom K., entrepreneurs, relocated with two kids
Ready When You Are

Thailand is worth
doing properly.

The cost of living is low, the food is excellent, and the expat community is larger than most people expect. Most people who make the move do not regret it. They regret how long they waited, or the months spent fixing avoidable problems after arriving.
