  • Applicable to all first-time visa extension applicants at OSSC. 
  • Immigration officers will pre-schedule inspections with the company’s HR department. 
  • During inspections, HR, Thai staff and the visa holder must be present. Company directors or representatives are not required. 
  • Officers will ask questions, inspect documents and take photos at the office. 
  • A signature will be required to confirm compliance post-inspection. Non-compliance may lead to visa revocation and possible blacklisting.
