Checking into Thailand is a time-consuming and complicated process. It is based around Thai values and many of the officials do not speak English. Yacht Solutions can save you time and hassle by acting as your agent for clearances in and out.
For crew wishing to stay in Thailand longer than 30 days we recommend all crew acquire a 60 day Tourist Visa from the nearest Thai Consulate prior to arrival (this visa can be then extended for an additional 30 days in the country). This visa is not essential, but it will save you the cost of renewing visas every 30 days. The captain will be cleared in as crew; they will be issued a 30 day yacht visa on arrival and will then require organising a crew bond which is outlined below to leave the country after 30 days. On return the tourist visa will be enacted.
For this service to run smoothly we will need the following:
- Original vessel registration documents;
- Clearance papers from last port;
- All crew and passenger passports;
- Letter of authority from owner to captain to act as captain for your boat;
- If the vessel ownership is under a company name, please contact us to receive templates of the correct paperwork required.
* A copy of all the above paperwork is required prior to the yacht arriving in Phuket, you can send by email or fax to +66 (0)76 239 139.
