What customers say about working with us
If you are looking for assistance with getting your visa and want someone who is responsive and helpful, then look no further than Thai Kru! Everything went so smoothly throughout the entire process.
From start to finish I received full support. They were very well informed and reassured me and reviewed documents as many times as needed.
After reaching out to about four local visa agencies in Thailand, Thai Kru stood out as the most legitimate and honest... They kept in touch and explained everything.
