You are a grown up person, so take control over your life and do it yourself, no need to use a agent and support corruption.

There are many many posts in the group, which tell how it is done, just use the search bar.

If you are respectful, polite and dress properly, most Immigration Officers will be help you if you should have missed something, and some Immigration Offices have helpful volunteer’s and some even have a hand-out, telling everything.

And you will be proud of yourself, when you made it yourself.

You want the extension based on retirement. Read up on the process /requirements for If you have a bank account and the required funds, you likely will find that you won’t need an agent.

Up to you, but it’s quite straightforward to do yourself. As a Belgian citizen you don’t need to open a bank account and prove any funds in a Thai bank if you can meet the required income 65K baht a month and get a affidavit letter from the Belgian embassy in Bangkok. Get a hand out of the requirements from the immigration before you apply. If you insist on using an agent as I understand the owners of this site Thai visa Centre also assist klients in Chiang mai.

You have a retirement visa. You’re asking for an agent to do an extension? If you have the funding DIY for 1,900 baht.
