Not sure using an agent is wise considering the next year people seem to have issues with the immigration office of their choice but good luck to you

immigration would rather people use agents than having people turn up at their offices ! I recall an immigration officer suggesting I use an agent !

Why would you pay someone to open a bank account, or apply for visa ? fools and thier money are easily parted.

you are the man.

stupid comment, some people such as myself find it a lot less time consuming to go true an agent. And there's also the aspect of using computers and printers. Some of aren't very good with those. All the agent knows exactly what is required, and that once again. Saves time.

when was the last time you opened a Thai bank account? It is nearly impossible in some Provences!

exactly. I did my non o and extension on retirement all in one day coming straight from the airport. We'll worth money spent. In and out and good for 15 months in only a few hours. That cheap Charlie could have never achieved that on hi own. The money I make on interest easily covers the fee rather than deposit money that makes no money and all the headaches of the revolving bullshit IO give you. When I did it on my own in the past, same office always changing shit. But I do love how others pass judgement just because they never had a problem

you can do it your way and I will take the easy way each time. Agencies been around for decades and they are not going away anytime soon. When bank acct is frozen and knowing I didn't let them keep my

We do not assist with account opening at the bank you have mentioned 😉

it was a joke. No agency can work with that piece of shit bank

well - quite a number of people - myself included - have no issues with that bank

@Kim ********

your time will come. Do you think the people impacted by the bank were all criminals?

@Chris ***********

I'm not saying all banks are perfect. I've had "issues" with banks in Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand. You can't change it. You have to accept it or switch banks.

Tim ******

@Chris ***********

Not criminal, but ignorant or negligent.

A bank customer also has a duty of care.

This includes paying attention to all messages. There are people who don't install the banking app, but certain messages are only delivered via the banking app, not via SMS or email.

You can't compare a bank in Thailand with a bank in America. Every bank has to comply with the laws and regulations of its respective country.

@Chris ***********

what an absurd question

Matthew *********

@Kim ********

so that must make you special and all the other thousands must be doing something wrong? So glad to see people like you minimise other people's issue. Mine eas frozen for no reason. I went end and no issues with your acct everything is correct should be unlock from head office.

Tim ******

For no reason? You just don't know the reason.

Tim ******

A phone number that isn't linked to your passport, or you missed a notification that you have to visit a BBL brunch, are just two possible reasons.

@Tim *****

all my stuff was up to date like it has been fo years. They had no real reason other for me to come in and prove I was in thailand basically. They want to work as fake immigration enforcement. Its their policies that has caused them to lose thousands of customer. If an CEO in any bank in america had this problem he o she wouldn't have a job. Thank god I didn't run my company foolishly like they have. The Bot acknowledged in recent article with all the problems with thai banks. One bank did an update and erased peoples balanced an locked over a million customers. These banks wouldn't last in america for a month. But I am sure you would defend them as excellent

strange - rather absurd - conclusions you make. Of course I don't minimize the serious problems many have - of course I don't think "they did something wrong". And actually many say they don't have any issues.
