Can an agent help you choose the best visa route for your situation?

@John *******

Maybe make a post then of the joys of travelling to your bank and explaining exactly what you need to the new manager who speaks no English, and then standing in line at immigration. Would be great for people to see how fun it really is

@Todd ********

rubbish my Bangkok bank has a lot of people that can speak English and understand, as for tilling them want it is that you need it's not a problem as for standing in a line that's no longer a problem with immigration just book a appointment and turn up 10 min before your appointment has been made

@John *******

rubbish mate. How many expats do you think that applies to lol. Tried a lot of banking in Issan? Regardless - I’m already looking forward to the video of it all. Perception vs reality moments 😂.

Did you actually move 800k here?!?

@Todd ********

just go away your a idiot

I am not surprised that you have some knee pads in the office with the agent to use

@John *******

you either can’t do basic finance (you would be an absolute moron to not understand why the agent is a smart route) or simply that rare 🥜 👅 ing sycophant who enjoys standing in line like a good Catholic schoolboy

@Todd ********

well I am not a Catholic to start with and I don't mind standing in a line once a year, but I don't believe that it's necessary to spend thb on a one day trip just to save a little bit of time as you can book a appointment with immigration now and as I don't work I have plenty of time

@John *******

I haven’t worked a day in a decade. I retired fully at 47 due to a solid grasp of basic finance. And I definitely do mind standing in line with the 21 year old rastafarians and ‘cheap Charlie’ crowd for no apparent reason. And let’s not forget you must do the same at your bank every year. I’m obviously not as bored with my life as you, but maybe that will happen as I age 🤷‍♂️

The agent annual renewal cost may have risen to 20k this year (not sure) but no higher. And you don’t need to throw your money in the garbage by bringing 800k to Thailand to sit in an account making 0.25%. It’s honestly quite simple. If using the 65k method, great. It makes more sense to go stand in line and save a few baht.
