Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I get arrested by police in Pattaya?
Do not sign anything. Request to speak with a lawyer. Under the Thai Criminal Procedure Code, you have the right to legal defense and confidential consultation. We can immediately dispatch a lawyer to assist you.
Can I get out on bail in Thailand?
Yes, for non-severe charges. Bail is approved by the police or court based on a formal request. We evaluate the situation and guide you through the process. See Thai Criminal Procedure Code, Section 107.
How long does a criminal case take in Thailand?
It depends on the case. Minor offenses take 1–3 weeks; serious ones can take several months. We’ll provide a time estimate during consultation.
Can I avoid deportation after a criminal case?
Yes — if the court does not ban your stay and you have valid reasons to remain (job, business, or family). We prepare the necessary paperwork and submit requests to immigration.
Can I stay in Thailand after the case is closed?
Yes, if immigration laws weren’t violated and the court doesn’t order deportation. We help verify your visa status and assist in extending your legal stay.
Can I change lawyers during a case?
Absolutely. You have the right to switch legal representation. We contact your current lawyer, obtain case materials, and continue without delays.
How do I hire a criminal defense lawyer?
Contact us via website or phone. We’ll provide an initial consultation, sign a service agreement, and begin work immediately.
How much does legal representation cost?
Fees depend on case complexity. We’ll provide a detailed quote after consultation. All conditions are specified in the contract.
Can my case be handled if I’ve already left Thailand?
In some cases — yes. If the court allows, we can continue representation through a legal power of attorney.
Is it legal to hire a private lawyer in Thailand?
Yes, as long as the lawyer is registered with the Thai Lawyer Council. All GoldFish Expert attorneys are licensed and authorized to represent clients in court.

I have been renting an office from Goldfish Expert for several months now. Through them, I opened a Thai company, obtained a visa and work permit, and receive accounting and legal support. It is very convenient that everything is handled in one place - without unnecessary running around and misunderstandings.

I am very satisfied with the service (after several inquiries of varying complexity - bank, visa, legal advice), which is rare for Pattaya! Everything was done according to the initial agreements, both in terms of timing and payment, without any hassle or Pattaya stories ))).

I got my motorcycle license through some guys. Everything went smoothly, they got me all the paperwork, medical documents, and gave me the address of the school. The whole process took three days, they take care of everything for you on the spot, you get your license on the third day, issued by the department, with a photo and fingerprints in the database—everything is done by the book.

We used this company to cross the border. It went very well! The bus was very comfortable, the air conditioning worked well (which is a miracle in Thailand), the driver was helpful, the stops were in convenient locations, and everyone was polite and punctual. Everything was well organized at the border, and they even provided water. Thank you for the excellent service, and I highly recommend it!

I am really impressed with the service here! I sought help with visa and document issues in Thailand, and they handled everything professionally from start to finish. Even before charging me for the consultation, they took the time to understand my case and made sure they could really help - that alone speaks volumes.

We had a terrible experience when we tried to do a border run on our own, without the help of a visa service. We were detained and denied entry into Thailand. We have a house that we rent, along with our personal belongings and our pet. Fortunately, I managed to find The Goldfish House, and they were able to help us with this situation.

A great, professional team, always dedicated to solving our visa needs (also driving licence and bank account). We live in Bangkok, and the Goldfish house team does not make us come to Pattaya unless necessary.
