Pongsiri Trivittayasil

I am Thai, and I have spent years building and running businesses here, which means I have dealt with Thai paperwork, banks and government offices from the inside rather than from a brochure.

I started Gateway Siam because foreigners who want to live in Thailand keep hitting the same wall: the rules are confusing, they change constantly, and many agents keep their pricing and their reasoning deliberately vague. Every engagement here is quoted as a fixed fee in writing before it starts, with government and embassy fees itemised separately at cost.

The guides on this site come out of that casework. When a rule changes, the guide changes, and the page says when it last did.
