What do relocation services in Thailand cover?
Relocation services in Thailand cover four parts of a move: the visa route, schools, a home and settling in. It works best as one plan with one planner: we set the order of each step and bring in the right licensed people at the right time.
Visa route. We help you compare the long-stay options for each family member and introduce a trusted lawyer or licensed visa agent to prepare the filing.
Schools and family. We shortlist schools by curriculum and area, and plan visits around your trip. Choose the school first, then the home near it: Bangkok traffic decides your mornings.
Home. Our network covers agents, lawyers, schools and banks, and we make each introduction on request. They handle the search, the viewings and the contract. Read our buying property guide first.
Settling in. Bank account, car and driver, household staff and pets, planned in the right order after arrival. Permanent staff come through a referral to a recruitment partner, on monthly terms.
How much do relocation services in Thailand cost?
A Bangkok home-search and settling-in package starts from ฿60,000, with 7% VAT included (VIP Luxury Services price list, November 2026). Lawyers and agents quote their own work. Every move includes one planner, a written timeline and one itemised quote for the parts we arrange, and we tell you plainly which steps you can skip.
Arranged around your plan: school visit days, temporary housing in a hotel or serviced residence, airport arrivals and a car with driver for viewing days.

Which long-stay visa suits a move to Thailand?
For most families moving for work or wealth, the LTR visa is the strongest choice: 10 years, a work permit in every category except Work-from-Thailand Professional, and cover for a spouse and children under 20, the Board of Investment says. Retirees aged 50 and over look at the O-X visa, and remote workers at the DTV.
The LTR fee is USD 1,600 at a Thai consulate abroad, the Royal Thai Consulate-General in Los Angeles lists, or ฿50,000 when collected in Thailand. A lawyer or licensed visa agent prepares the filing; we set the order so the visa, the school place and the lease line up.
What should you know before moving to Thailand?
Three rules shape every move: the visa, the property limits and tax residence. Beyond the LTR options above, the DTV visa lasts 5 years with a ฿10,000 fee, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says. Compare every route in our visa comparison.
Property has firm limits. Foreigners may own a condominium unit in their own name. But foreign ownership may not exceed 49% of a building's floor area, under the Condominium Act. Land cannot be owned; a registered lease runs up to 30 years per term.
Plan tax and schools early. Anyone in Thailand for more than 180 days in a calendar year is tax resident, the Revenue Department says; see our banking and tax guide. OPEC counted 276 international schools on 10 February 2026; our international schools guide compares them.
Moving with a dog or cat? Wait 21 days after the rabies vaccination before you apply, the Royal Thai Consulate in Los Angeles advised in February 2026. The Department of Livestock Development then issues the import permit, requested 7 to 60 days before departure. Our pet relocation guide covers each step.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do relocation services in Thailand cost?
A Bangkok home-search and settling-in package starts from ฿60,000, with 7% VAT included. Family size, visa route, cities and the parts you want us to arrange set the final price. Lawyers and agents quote their own work.
Which visa suits a family moving to Thailand?
It depends on age, income and work. The LTR visa covers a spouse and children under 20, up to four dependants, the BOI says. The DTV also covers a spouse and children under 20.
Can a foreigner buy a house in Thailand?
Not the land. Foreigners can own a building on leased land, with registered leases of up to 30 years per term. Or they can buy a condominium unit within the 49% foreign quota.
Do you find the home for us?
No. On request, we put you in touch with an agent and a lawyer of your own. The agent runs the search and viewings; the lawyer checks the title and the contract for you.
Do we have to report our address after moving?
Yes. Anyone staying over 90 days reports their address every 90 days, online or in person, the Immigration Bureau says. LTR visa holders report once a year instead, under BOI rules.
