- 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.
