Some expressed satisfaction with the immigration services in Bangkok, citing their organization and adherence to regulations. Others mentioned costs associated with the visa application and the importance of having the required funds in a Thai bank.

I found immigration in Bangkok to be very organized and professional. They do everything by the book. I did my OA extensions there for 6 years and never had a problem. I found no need for an agent.
