TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about the availability of visa agents in East Thailand, particularly in Nakom Phanom and Mukdahan, and expresses concern about the need to travel to Khon Kaen for assistance. Responses suggest that while there may be limited local options, it is possible to utilize Bangkok-based visa agents through email and postal services, and some users mention alternatives in nearby areas.

I've seen visa companies/visa and border run companies advertising in Ubon.

It's not a scam if you agree to pay it, because that's the going rate, some people only have their government pension coming in, so don't meet the requirements for the ฿65k a month method, I have heard some people just somehow recycle it every month, not sure exactly how it is done, it is funny how you choose to ignore the fact the agent is paid with "interest money" so essentially it's a free visa with ฿25k in your back pocket, your visa costs ฿1900 but that's out your "own money" a lot just sit the ฿800k in a Thai bank year after year, earning virtually nothing in interest, it works for a lot of people using an agent, because otherwise they wouldn't be able to live in Thailand, so they don't have a choice, because they don't have savings and only live on a government pension.

25k baht every year?? That's a scam, it's 25k baht for the first year, and usually around 15k baht for a renewal of the 12 month extension, a friend of mine gets 40k baht interest on his 800k baht in his home country bank, he gives 15k baht to his agent, and the rest is pocket money, and doesn't need to deal any of that Thai bureaucracy, in an immigration office.

I'm simply pointing out it's a scam. Expats scream "taxi mafia scam" if they're charged 500 baht for a 300 baht fare, but to pay even

baht for a 1900 baht visa extension is a scam. Yes I believe in freedom of choice. It's entirely up to the individual. I've better things to do with my money and I hate being scammed. That's ok surely? Or are you going to find fault with that? 😆

If you want to use an agent it's fine. I'm simply pointing out it's a scam, whilst others are pretending it's not. I use the 65k transfer method. I mean, FFS, you need money to live on surely? So this gives you a monthly income, as well as satisfying immigration, and there's no scam involved. I hate being scammed, it's that simple

If he's getting 40k in interest, that meens before tax he earns 50k. A rate of 6.25%, I'm interested, where does he get that rate? I want to open an account there.

he just said it is sat in a ISA saving account in a UK bank, getting 5% interest. So ฿800k baht is ฿40,000 baht a year tax free.

it's a "work around" if you don't have tje 800k in a thai bank, so hardly a scam, in my book a scam = pay some money for something and receive nothing back in return. Here they are getting a visa that otherwise would be out of their reach

People can use the 65k per month pension/transfer method. I've done that for years. No need to tie up 800k.

Because I don't trust advice online, only to be asked for extra documents or to be told its not possible ect. when I try it myself. Very unreliable and often contradicting info. Agents make it so much easier and less likely to screw up.

You know why I need an agent surely?

I know if you go to Immigration and get their list of requirements for whatever you want to do it's not that difficult and will cost just 1900B (extension) or 2000B (visa) so no I don't know.

Not with the experience I've had at Thai immigration offices. Left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth.

You do you.

I initially asked about Visa agents in this area. Don't remember asking if you thought it's worth using a Visa Agent or not.
