Specialized expert visa for technical consultants with initial 90-day entry extendable to 1 year, requiring a separate work permit.
The Non-Immigrant Visa Category EX is Thailand's expert visa for highly skilled professionals and technical specialists whose niche expertise is unavailable locally. It targets consultants, project advisors, and technical troubleshooters whose specialized knowledge is essential for infrastructure or technology transfer, requiring at least two years of relevant experience.
The visa grants an initial 90-day stay, extendable to one year, and is renewable for continued assignments. Fees are 2,000 THB (single-entry) or 5,000 THB (multiple-entry). Work authorization requires a separate work permit from the Ministry of Labour, obtained by the Thai employer before visa issuance. Dependents are permitted.
This visa is ideal for international consultants and technical specialists on fixed-term projects who need rapid entry to share expertise or manage complex operations.
