Common questions from clients planning their move to Thailand. If you need more details, our team is happy to walk you through every step.
Typically, a complete international relocation process spans about 3 to 6 months. This timeline is subject to various factors, including initial planning, managing paperwork (such as visas), securing housing, and the actual logistics of moving household goods. The overall process, especially when factoring in the settling-in period, may well extend beyond six months.
Yes, and it is highly recommended. Most long-term visas, such as the Non-Immigrant B (Business), O (Family), or ED (Education) visas, should be initiated at a Thai Embassy or Consulate in your home country before you travel. While some visas can be converted or applied for within Thailand, starting the process early ensures you enter the country with the correct legal status and avoids the need for immediate “visa runs”.
Document requirements vary depending on your visa type and personal circumstances (such as work, study, retirement, or family relocation). In most cases, you should expect to prepare a valid passport, recent photos, and basic civil documents such as marriage or birth certificates, if applicable.
Once your visa route is confirmed, our team will provide a clear, personalised checklist so you only prepare the documents that are actually required, avoiding unnecessary paperwork or delays.
Relocating to Thailand, particularly with family, necessitates meticulous planning to allow sufficient time for researching educational institutions, securing accommodation, and completing legal documentation without undue pressure.
International schools in Thailand generally operate on a three-term academic calendar, commencing in late August and concluding in June or July. It is advisable to submit school applications well in advance to secure placements at your preferred institutions for your children.
The most challenging aspects of moving to Thailand for foreigners include navigating the complex visa system, language barriers, differences being among the most significant hurdles, and adapting to the social norms and expectations. Finding suitable housing and settling in can also be difficult.
However, at SVBL, we take the complexity out of the process by managing every detail for you.
Relocating to a new environment is among the most significant personal stressors; therefore, it is crucial to utilize all available expert assistance.
Relocation services are indispensable for a seamless transition to Thailand, particularly for individuals unacquainted with the local environment and regulatory framework. These services provide specialized knowledge in managing intricate procedures such as visa applications, securing appropriate accommodation, and comprehending local customs, thereby mitigating stress and facilitating a more streamlined relocation.
In essence, relocation services serve as a crucial conduit between an individual’s country of origin and their new life in Thailand, offering expertise, assistance, and direction throughout the entire relocation process.
At SVBL, we are equipped to provide comprehensive assistance throughout this process.
To import pets into Thailand, an import permit must be secured from the Department of Livestock Development (DLD) between 7 and 60 days prior to arrival. Additionally, the pet must satisfy specific health prerequisites, including current vaccinations and a valid health certificate.
Securing pet-friendly rental accommodation in Thailand presents a limited selection, as most apartments do not permit pets, necessitating a preference for detached houses. Transparent communication with landlords regarding pet ownership is advised. Prospective tenants should anticipate a higher security deposit and potential limitations concerning pet size or breed.
In Thailand, rental apartments are typically fully furnished. The majority of rental properties, particularly in central Bangkok, include standard furniture and appliances provided by the landlord, such as beds and mattresses, a sofa, a coffee table, a dining table and chairs, a wardrobe, a television, a hob and hood, a refrigerator, a microwave, a washing machine, and a water heater in the bathroom.
However, personal or decorative items, including bedsheets, towels, utensils, and kitchenware, are not included. Conversely, larger properties such as houses or condominiums with three or more bedrooms may occasionally be unfurnished or partially furnished.
We maintain no affiliations with real estate agencies and receive no commissions. Our consultants conduct property searches based on your specified criteria, presenting a curated selection for your review and accompanied visits. The ultimate decision regarding property selection rests solely with you.
Please be advised that in Thailand, the real estate agent does not necessitate certification, and agents typically represent the landlord’s interests. Conversely, we serve exclusively as your tenant representatives.
Opening a Thai bank account prior to relocating to Thailand is not feasible for foreign nationals, as essential documentation is required by Thai banks. These documents include a passport, visa, work permit or residence certificate, proof of address, a Thai mobile number, and an initial deposit.
