Moving to Koh Samui with Heveastart : your new life in Thailand starts here

Why are more and more French-speaking expats moving to Koh Samui?

Living in Koh Samui, Thailand means choosing a tropical island where sunshine, the sea, and lush nature shape your daily life. But behind this dream lifestyle lies a series of steps to prepare for: long-term visa, health insurance, local bank account, driver’s license, housing, telecommunications… That’s where our Heveastart service comes in.

Created exclusively for Heveatecture clients, Heveastart supports your move to Koh Samui with a tailor-made, local, human and fully reliable approach.

A relocation service in Thailand
exclusively for our clients

Heveastart is a unique service designed to ease the transition for our clients who are building or investing in a villa with Heveatecture. We don’t outsource anything. Our team is based on the island and fully understands the local requirements. You’ll be supported by experts who speak your language and understand your expectations.

Visa assistance for long-term stays
in Thailand

One of the first steps when relocating to Thailand is obtaining the right visa. Whether you’re a retiree, investor, entrepreneur or an Elite visa holder, we’ll guide you through the process: from preparing the required documents to scheduling appointments and handling all communication with immigration authorities. With Heveastart, you save time, gain clarity, and enjoy peace of mind.

Health insurance for expats
in Thailand

Moving to Koh Samui means securing the right health insurance. We help you find the most suitable solution, whether it’s local private coverage or an international policy, depending on your personal situation and visa requirements. We’ll assist you in comparing options, understanding the coverage, and completing the subscription with ease.

Getting a Thai driver’s license
in Koh Samui

If you want to drive a car or scooter in Koh Samui, you’ll need a Thai driver’s license. While your international license may be valid for a short time, converting it is highly recommended for long-term stays. Heveastart will guide you through the official translations, appointments, paperwork, and license issuance process.

Setting up telecommunications:
phone, internet, SIM card

As soon as you arrive, we’ll help you activate a Thai SIM card, choose the right mobile plan, and install a reliable internet connection at your new home. Whether you’re a digital nomad, entrepreneur, or retiree, we make sure you’re connected from day one.

A trilingual team here
to support you

Our team speaks French, English, and Thai, ensuring smooth communication with local authorities, service providers, and banks. This language flexibility gives you the peace of mind to fully understand each step and feel supported throughout your journey.
