Michelle Hawryluk

Managing Partner

I am Michelle Hawryluk, the founding partner of Hawryluk Legal Advisors. I have been practicing immigration law in Thailand for over 12 years, and I have personally guided more than 2,400 clients through the Thailand Elite Visa application process.

Before founding this firm, I spent years working within the Thai immigration system. I understand not just the rules on paper, but how applications are actually reviewed by immigration officers. That insider perspective is what allows me to prepare applications that are complete, accurate, and positioned for success.

I started this firm because I saw too many clients being taken advantage of by unregulated visa agencies making false promises. As a licensed attorney, I am bound by a code of ethics. I cannot guarantee visa approval — no one can — but I can guarantee that every application I touch is reviewed with the same care I would give my own family.

“I put my name on this firm because I stand behind every application we prepare. My clients know who they are working with — not a faceless agency, but a real person with a real license and a real reputation to protect.”
— Michelle Hawryluk, Managing Partner

What Is the Thailand Elite Visa?

Thailand Privilege Card Explained

The Thailand Elite Visa is a premium long-term visa program officially managed by Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd. — a subsidiary of the Tourism Authority of Thailand. It grants members a multiple-entry visa valid for 5 to 20 years, depending on the membership tier selected.

Hawryluk Legal Advisors is a licensed Thai law firm that provides legal advisory and document preparation services for clients applying to this program. We do not issue visas — the program is administered by the Thai government. Our role is to ensure your application is legally sound, complete, and compliant with current program requirements.

Unlike standard long-term visa Bangkok options, the Thailand Elite program offers a comprehensive package of VIP privileges including fast-track immigration, personal assistance, airport limousine services, and government concierge support. It is designed for individuals who value time, convenience, and premium service.
