Do I need permits to film in Thailand?
Absolutely. Most productions filming in Thailand must apply for permits through the Thailand Film Office, and NEEDaFIXER manages this process from start to finish. This includes city permits, district permissions, national park approvals, temple shoots, and any location requiring official clearance. We also handle traffic control, drone permissions, night-shoot approvals and more, depending on the location.
Can you help with visas and work permits for our cast and crew?
Yes. We manage all visas, work permits, insurance, and risk assessments for foreign crews. Our licensed local fixers ensure that every part of the regulatory process is handled correctly so your team enters, works and films legally and stress-free.
Are drone shoots allowed in Thailand?
Yes, but they require proper authorization. NEEDaFIXER handles drone permits, coordinates with authorities, and manages safety for aerial units—especially in sensitive areas like temples, city centres, and national parks.
Are cash-rebate film incentives available?
Yes. Thailand offers competitive cash-rebate incentives for qualifying productions. We guide you through the process, handle application documentation, and track eligible spend so the production maximises its rebate.
