TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around the possibility of extending a non-immigrant O visa to a one-year retirement extension in Thailand, particularly through the services of Thai Visa Centre (TVC). Several comments confirm that TVC provides legitimate and efficient services for retirement visa extensions, while others mention that individuals can handle the process themselves if they meet the requirements. Legal status is deemed dependent on meeting the necessary criteria, although some participants raised concerns about legality.

Legal or not depends on you, whether you can fulfill all requirements or whether they have to "help" you.

Then go shop around for the service fee they charge. Differnt agents charge different fees!

And make it clear, that they should do it at the place, where you stay, not in another province. And that you expect them to process the whole thing within one day!

I have not found a single agency that provides a service in lopburi

Some do it in bkk

We will process it at Bangkok Immigration (Chaengwattana), Bangkok Immigration is the head of Thai Immigration and its visa extension approved is regarded throughout the Nation.
