Don’t Let a Bad Photo Ruin Your Visa Run: The Expat’s Guide to Printing in Sattahip

Living in Thailand is a dream, but the paperwork can sometimes feel like a nightmare. Whether you are a long-term expat in Sattahip, a teacher at a local international school, or a digital nomad passing through Na Chom Thian, you eventually face the same hurdle: Thai Immigration.

At SSCOPY, we know that when you are preparing for a visa extension, a 90-day report, or a work permit application, you cannot afford mistakes. A blurry document or a photo that is 2 millimeters too small can mean a rejected application and a wasted day.

Here is why foreigners in Sattahip and Jomtien trust SSCOPY for their most critical documentation.

1. The "Thai Immigration" Photo Standard (It’s Not Just a Passport Photo)

One of the most common mistakes foreigners make is assuming a standard "passport photo" works for everything. It doesn’t.

Most Western passports use a 35x45 mm photo. However, Thai Immigration forms (like the TM.7 extension of stay) strictly require a 4x6 cm photo. If you show up with the standard western size, the officer may reject your application on the spot.

At SSCOPY, we don’t just take your picture; we ensure it meets the current bureaucratic standards:

• Correct sizing: We cut precisely to the 4x6 cm standard for immigration, or 3.5x4.5 cm for international passports if you are renewing your home country documents.
• Background perfection: We use the mandatory white or off-white background with zero shadows, which is a common reason for rejection when done incorrectly.
• Attire and grooming: We will remind you to tuck your hair behind your ears and remove your glasses—small details that strict officers look for.

2. Document Printing for the "Paperwork Mountain"

In a digital world, Thailand still loves paper. To renew a visa or get a residence certificate, you often need copies of everything: your passport face page, your latest entry stamp, your departure card, your TM.30 receipt, and proof of income.

Finding a reliable printer in Sattahip can be frustrating. Hotel business centers are overpriced, and 7‑Eleven clerks are often too busy to help with complex print jobs.

SSCOPY is your personal office.

• Flight and hotel bookings: We print crisp, clear confirmations you need to prove your travel plans.
• Bank statements: High‑resolution printing ensures all figures and dates are legible for financial proof.
• Color copies: Essential for passport copies where the entry stamps need to be clearly visible in blue or red ink.

3. High-Quality Business Cards for Networking

Thailand is a relationship-based culture. If you are doing business here, handing over a high-quality business card (nambat) is a sign of respect. Whether you are a real estate agent in Jomtien or a consultant based in Sattahip, a flimsy card makes a weak first impression.

We offer professional business card printing that stands out:

• Premium stocks: Thick, durable cardstock that feels professional in the hand.
• Sharp color: Vibrant colors that match your brand identity perfectly.
• Fast turnaround: Need them for a networking event tomorrow? We can help.
