Frequently asked questions

Is this just for tourists or long-term expats?

It’s for anyone settling in—even if you’re unsure how long you’ll stay. Whether you're on a tourist visa, ED visa, work permit, or just figuring things out, you’re welcome.

Will I get practical tips for daily life in Thailand?

Yes. We’ll cover everything from transport apps and cash vs. card payments to SIM cards, renting, and social etiquette. Bring any question—no matter how small.

Can I ask visa-related questions during the session?

Absolutely. While we won’t offer legal advice, we’ll share useful insights and experiences about common visa paths, renewal processes, and what to expect when dealing with immigration.

Is the VIP option worth it if I already attend the group session?

The VIP ticket gives you a private 1:1 consult after the session where we can dive into your specific situation—housing, school options, budget planning, or anything you’re stuck on.

Do I need to bring anything?

Just yourself, your questions, and maybe a notebook if you’d like to jot down tips. Light snacks and coffee are provided, and you’re welcome to stay a bit after for casual chats.
