Can anyone tell me if this is something they have run across before when changing the TR visa over to a Non-O visa. This seems a little expensive.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user expresses concern about the high costs associated with converting a Tourist Visa (TR) to a Non-O visa in Thailand, highlighting charges totaling 35,000 baht when the actual cost is only 2,000 baht at immigration. Various comments indicate agreement that the prices quoted by the agent are exorbitant and question whether or not the fee includes additional services. Some suggest finding a more affordable agent or handling the conversion process independently. Overall, there seems to be consensus that the fees being charged are unjustifiably high.

Seems like itβs also include the one year extension of stay at a standard fee 1900 baht. The regular 15 months "package".

Seems ludicrous to me. They're charging 10k just for the changing of tourist to non-O (this costs 2000 baht at immigration) but then ALSO charging 25k for "extra payment for changing visa in Thailand". So they're charging 35k for something that costs 2k. The total should be less than just what they're charging for the retirement visa which is 35k. Honestly this invoice doesn't even make sense because it feels like they're charging for the same thing 5 times.
