Is the $1800 fee for a retirement visa for two people considered too expensive?

Yes

Stupid

The visa done throught this 8migration is only 1,900 Thai bht .very cheap .but you need 800k Thai bht in bank for 3 months ..plus paper work they ask for ..simple process.

Do it yourself, is easy

Cheap

Do it yourself!

I have all requirements For retirement will I get denied im only 33

Yes, it is. Anything more than 20K baht is expensive. 20K baht should include funding the money into an existing bank account, multiple re-entry permits, and conversion from Non-O to one year extension.

You can do it yourself for $200

That's cheap

I think it is too expensive it depends. First is it $1,800 USD or CAD there is a big difference.

My first retirement Visa I got 5 years ago cost me $35,000 THB. That is $1060 USD at today's rate. It got me 3 months NON O which you must get first. Then 12 months retirement visa. 15 months in total. They are charging $50,000 $1514 USD to do that today.

The second year it cost me $18,000 THB $545 USD but you only have to renew the retirement visa. I understand you can get that done for $15,000 THB $454 USD or less these days.

Since they changed the entry rules, I stayed 5 months last year , what is the best way to stay that length? In the past I got a 90 day tourist visa and then went to Bali and re entered and was covered but with only two entries allowed in a calendar year, I may not be able to do that. Any advice?

It comes down to if you want hassle free, you pay someone, if you learn to do it yourself, more money to spend. Its just a choice.

Normal

Around 30,000 baht each? That's cheap if it includes the bank account. If you have a bank account with the seasoned money, it's a little high.

I’m from USA. My non-O retirement visa was $75.

Dont need an agent for a retirement visa

Is that from.Dave, stall 3, honey bar, soi 7 Pattaya?

Aussie dollar New Zealand dollar, Canadian dollar who’s dollar??????

Heck yeah you are paying Visa agent fees. Go to ChatGPT and ask questions then let it help you fill out your paperwork! These agents are talking about completing paperwork for you that you can do yourself.

You are paying for a service...it depends what situations u have ........I already have a thai bank acct when applying for nonO retirement inside thailand ....paid 2000baht for the initial 90days and 1900baht for the 1yr extensions....need to apply and pay separately for the re entry permit

I paid about $940 for just me

So easy.

Worth the service to avoid all the headaches.

well, if you did not enter on a 90-days Non-Imm-O Visa, the only way to get a bank account opened, the 90-days Non-O issued and the subsequent 1-year extension on top of it, is paying the agent "tea money" because you would be violating too many rules. Thai Immigration will thank you velly mutt for supporting corruption. And YES, this costs up from 60,000 Baht or 1800 US Dollar. . . if you had entered on the correct visa, it would only cost you 5000 Baht to get a bank account opened, you would have transferred 800,000 THB into it, and for only 1900 Baht you get the retirement 1-year extension issued. YOUR BAD you didn't follow the law but choose to pay tea money

Is that in baht if so 1800 divide by two is only $27.31 in USD each.. is it right to do

I think that it's unfair but it helps the cost of custom employees and whatever.

Just be happy that you are in thailand and enjoy your stay.

Welcome to Thailand

Very very cheap. Make sure you get a bank account and a 15 month visa with multiple entry

Extention or 1st application. If you want a retirement visa extention + multiple re entry stamp the pp fee will be to depending on the agency. Provided you have the financial qualification. If not it will be to 22 000 depending on agency. Cheapest is not necessarily best.

Why dont you just do it yourself? Its not that hard and costs nearly nothing.

It’s a little expensive, but for two, maybe not. $1500 for one, if they are helping with the banking aspects of the equation, is about average.

Well, i paid 1900 baht for myself last 17 years, so yes very expensive.

IMO using an agent to sort this and your 1 year extension isn't a bad idea to understand the requirements without the stress, if you have everything that qualifies you naturally from the start, do your following years by yourself. If you are really good with documents and can endure some inconvenience then do it all yourself from the beginning, don't let the agent short cut anything or else you will be stuck

My gosh.. In my next life I want to be a visa agent.. to print off some documents and attend immigration and bank with you for this type of fee is incredible. Department staff at both locations are very helpful

Talk in bahts if you want to live in Thailand. The fees are listec online.

I always do my retirement visa at the Immigration office.. They are very helpful and kind to me in every aspect of the visa

If this is for a first retirement Visa = 15 Months + Bank account than let me tell you this is Cheap regular price would be around 2600 Us $

Sorry - why pay an agent such kind of money? Easy to do yourself and will cost you 1900 Baht each. IF you have a lease contract, funds available in the bank it should be easy to do direct with immigration.

Each visa costs 1900 baht, you're paying $1685 more so what do you think? If you're ok with paying 17x more than it costs then do it

There's not enough information here for anyone to properly advise you.

Please provide a few more details, including:

* Your current visa status

* Whether either of you already has a bank account in Thailand

* Whether you are currently in Thailand

* Nationalities

If you only need a yearly extension our fee is around 14,000 thb (so it would be 28,000 for two).

Good price,if all included?

I bought eight legs of venison for 32 pound do you think that was

two dear?

If this includes everything. The bank account 90 day the $800,000 it goes in your account and disappears seconds later yeah that's a deal. But if you are putting your money in the bank that's not really a deal just pull this off yourself.

Do you already have a Thai Bank account?

I Always use the Thai visa center. It’s not cheap, but it’s very very good and smooth operations no matter what you do visa wise their proficient and reliable.

most good agents charge $1500 including Thai bank account for 1 person.

You come to the land of scams and ask such a stupid question

1800 what??

if you don't have a bank account and any experience on the process application.. i think it is unavoidable to find an agent to do all for you.. normally speaking.. these agents can only do it in Pattaya or outside of Bangkok.. if you do live in Bangkok.. you cannot transfer the visa to Bangkok even after the first visa is over . You will need to start a new application in Bangkok all over. Yet by then you already have the 800k deposit in your bank. The application becomes much easier

Almost thb

Wow expensive

No such price for one year visa.you better look very carefully at your passport when it’s returned.scammer beware.

I think this price if for the following

90 day non O visa

Open a bank account

Agent deposits 800,000bht

and the 12 month extension.

If its too this then it is about the correct amount.

If you make by yourself is 1900 bath... 50$

Only you can answer your question

Id shop around, try

We do it ourselves for 13 years already, only the first time not

Pretty easy

Make them alone its nothing and it will just cost 1900thb X 2 = 3800 bahts

Pay me 1000 USD i fix 👍😂

That's crazy 🤪

My agent would never charge that

Should be 18,000 baht, about $550. USD.

For each

i pay 1900 THB

I don’t get it, apply yourself first and know how the process works ; if something gets in the middle, then hire an agent. 🫡

Very expensive for the visa. Retirement visa, over 50, non-O, 90 days, cost me £60...

Sounds cheap if it for everything, 90 days + 12months extension and all documentation. Check what they will provide for that money

Thailand want to uninvite low class people. Didn't realize low class people have high spending power.

Very good price! I got one for 48k baht and it was the cheapest I could find. What agent did you use?

You paying the 800k into your Thai bank?

Yes you can bypass an agency but the first time can be very stressful, time consuming and intimidating 😔

Cheap

Expensive

Do you mean only non-immo O visa 90 days or do you mean incl. help opening bankaccount plus 1 year Extension of stay?

Price should be 2x1.900THB and not paying for agents and imigration officers scame

The price must be 2 years old

$1800 = crazy money, cost me 1900 baht $58, I've never used agency in 20 years...

900$ each is extremely cheap.

Hopefully baht! If USD find someone else

It’s 1900baht if you just do it yourself 🤷‍♂️

1 nights drinking

@ Its ฿1900 for the Visa

Depends of area and time of the year.

you give too few details to have accurate feedback. is this a new Visa or a renewal? a non-o in country or a non-oa out of country? are they taking care of the 800,000 deposit for you or are you doing that yourself

For 2

If you use an agent do you still need to attend the immigration office ?

1900 bath price for retirement visa

1800 USD rip off

If you got what you wanted , it’s good !!!

1800 $??​ crazy price 🫪🫪🫪

Is $1800 expensive for something that costs two times $60? I'd say so.

Yes 59,000 Thai Baht is way overpriced for one person.

Way too much

I have heard from a person who paid almost 50,000 Baht. Of course it was a "no financials" type of transaction. He just had to submit his passport and payment. A week later he the one year stamp.

Baht right ?

That’s very reasonable.

Depends where you are getting the visa from and the type of dollars you mean.

It's very expensive if you are applying via a Thai consulate. It seems very cheap if you are applying via an agent inside Thailand, but it all depends what they are providing you with.

1800 USD ?

Inside Thailand ?

Cheap

Check with

@THAI *****************************

Do you have the 800K x 2? Is this just for the Visa or is it for the Visa and extension and bank account?

If your using an agent its not that bad !

For 2, that's a very reasonable cost.
