Fragomen Adds Partner Aim-on Larpisal to Lead Bangkok Office

BANGKOK, April 12, 2023 – Fragomen, the world’s leading provider of immigration services, welcomes Partner Aim-on Larpisal, who will head the firm’s office in Bangkok, Thailand which opened in December 2022.

“We know that hiring and nurturing the right talent is paramount to our firm’s success and in that vein, we are thrilled to welcome Aim-on to the firm. Her valuable experience and extensive knowledge of the Thai market will complement our existing teams around the world to help our clients execute on their global mobility strategies in 2023 and beyond,” said Enrique Gonzalez, Fragomen’s Co-Chair.

Larpisal brings with her more than 30 years of immigration and employment law experience, including more than 20 years working with Fragomen as its local immigration provider in Thailand. She focuses on advising large multinational corporations on labor contracts, work rules, work permits and visa applications. Since the Fragomen Thailand office’s opening, the team has since grown quickly and Larpisal will now be leading a team of more than 15 immigration professionals and support staff, including key personnel such as Pantipa (Kate) Praphakornphiphat, who joined Fragomen Thailand as Practice Leader from the inception of the office.

“Joining a global leader like Fragomen is an incredible opportunity as I look to the next chapter of my career,” said Larpisal. “Thai immigration law is quite challenging and complex and I’m excited to bring my on-the-ground knowledge as we help clients navigate the numerous policy developments in the country.”

As the Thai government looks to enact new visa pathways to meet the needs of the number of companies that are looking at Thailand and its booming economy as an effective hub for their manufacturing operations, Fragomen is well-positioned to provide a wide range of immigration support services to a variety of industry sectors.

“I have known and worked with Aim-on for over 12 years and I’m very happy to now call her my colleague,” added Partner Kenneth Lau who maintains oversight of the Thailand office via the firm’s Singapore office regional hub. “Our clients will benefit greatly from Aim-on’s insight into the country’s intricate immigration laws and her many long-standing relationships within key government agencies.  With the strong tandem of Aim-on and Kate at the helm, I have every confidence in the success of our new Thailand team.”
