Is it standard to pay the same amount for renewing a Non-B visa in Thailand?

A user inquired whether the 25,000THB fee for renewing a Non-B visa in Thailand was standard, as they were charged the same amount for the initial setup a year ago. Community responses clarified that the renewal process involves the same paperwork as the initial application, explaining the high cost. Others mentioned that handling the renewal personally could significantly reduce costs to around 1,900THB.
