I follow him a lot and I am really interested in the argument, since every year I stay 2 or 3 months in Thailand before the pandemic ... but I would be interested in being able to stay longer and I really don't know how to do it safely. I am an Italian citizen and I hope to find someone trustworthy to help me in this ...

I have witnessed a guy being called out - out loud about a phony Extension where the guy really did not have the 800K in the bank... the Agency faked it. Not on that day but the fellow was pushed out of Thailand a couple of months later.

OPThank auto all for the comments.. I have been using a legal firm and it’s all good and a pain to go to immigration.. but it all gets done the proper way.. for Retirement the money in the bank and statements etc.. Thai Visa Centre do it all, you only need to provide them with 3 photos , no bank statements no nothing.. and price same as my legal firm
Bobby ********
Albert Alegre. Retirement visa extension you only have to go once a year. It's no big deal with the booking system. In and out in less than an hour. And the satisfaction of knowing it's totally legal with no chance of it coming back to bite you!

I only trust agents who go with me to the immigration n do everything necessary at the immigration. Rather than hand over my pp n wait for it to be returned with some stamp which I cannot verify if fake
Bobby ********
Kuan Kuan. So you go to immigration and yet take an agent???? 🤣🤣🤣
Kuan ******
@Bobby *******
yep just to see it through. Agent get me through the queue n all documents

@Kuan *****
I would imagine that you meet the requirements too. In that case while you might call them an agent, what they really are is a "hand holder". That is far different than an agent/agency that does everything for you without you going to the immigration office Bobby ********
@Kuan *****
. Queue? I use the booking system. It's simple enough for anyone of average intelligence to "see it through" themselves, but I guess there's many who just can't do it! Each to their own! 🤣

Thai visa center is a real deal. My friend used before. No fake visa
Bobby ********
Canice Kwek. The visa is real. Just the method to obtain it is not strictly "kosher"! 🤣
Tod *********
While I go out of my way to avoid recommending agents/agencies I will say Thai Visa Centre is the real deal, they do exactly what they say they can do, they charge a fair price for what they do (often times cheaper than other more well known agencies) and I don't know anyone who had a bad experience with them that they didn't try to resolve.
So if you HAVE to use an agency (can't meet the financial requirements, or have other issues qualifying for the visa/extension you want) contact them and see what their pricing is.

Hi TodJust curious cuz ive read u more than once saying that "once u go down the agent route" u r pretty much stuck... Committed to using an agent forever.
Why is that?
Lets say year 2 or 3 u DO meet the requirements...
Yes; u have a bogus extension from Khon Kaen... But what exactly would be the risk of doing the next extension on your own? (If any)
(Assume such extension would also be at another province... Since in most cases people don't live in KK or Sarakham or wherever they do it)
Just curious since i head u say that more than once.

@Federico *********
Apparently if you do it yourself later they might try to ask for proof of financials for the previous extension (as ridiculous as that sounds) but there is a failsafe that works during normal times.You can "break the chain" by leaving the country, getting a new visa abroad (or entering visa free) then getting a new extension. Old extensions from the past are not something immigration cares about.
So my recommendation would be to stick with an agent (yes you could switch between agents if you want) for as long as this state of emergency crisis lasts and borders remain closed. Once things get back to normal (not before 2022) then you can let the current agent extension expire, leave the country and start afresh.
Paul *******
@Federico *********
Right, I think you have a point there and that's why IOs won't ruffle any feathers. It should be OK but to be on the safe side, at least as long as this coronavirus circus sticks around, it is probably a good idea to use an agent and then once borders open up properly, then by all means, break the chain, go out and get a new visa and then extend on your own.
That way no questions will be forthcoming.

@Paul ******
hi thx for the input.Ive been in TH for over 10 years... Never used an agent.
But i manage a few FB groups in spanish and they r always asking about these things.
My point is that u could just tell the IO that u used another account for the past years...
An account u closed and no longer have access to...
And u did it in Khon Kaen cuz u were there at the time...
Bla bla...
OF COURSE the IO will know what's going on.
But what can he/she do?
Accusing u of fraud could be diffamation and also puts at risk his corrupt college IO in Khon Kaen...
So as much as he/she might suspect....
I don't see much she/he can do...
Hence my doubt

And this is one of the many embassy warnings

This was the report when they got busted last year. They were subsequently found to be "innocent" of any wrongdoing. Now, I wonder how that happened? 🤣🤣🤣

I used this agency as due to covid I was stuck. I have all my paperwork in place with my degree but could not go out. They told me they could help extend my visa. I went to immigration last week and they took one look told me the visa was fake. They told me to cancel it, go on covid extension, pay
*****
bht and they might be able to put me on non b.Bobby ********
@Emile *******
. The biggest problem is once you start using an agent, you're stuck with them until such time as you can leave the country and come back in on a legitimate visa. It's a bottomless pit you have to keep throwing money into. Emile ********

thanks 🙏✌️

I am sorry to hear about your missfortune. You weren't the first and unfortunately you won't be the last.Hope everything works out for you.

Emile Burger. It's Thailand. I'm sure you're smart enough to work that out! $$$$
Emile ********
@Bobby *******
yes true. I only asked as I heard they're the biggest and everyone suggested me to them. I was put in a shitty position as like I said I had all my paperwork and was in process of obtaining my wp and non b and then covid happened. I used to be with a legit volunteer foundation in Chiang Mai while I was studying so I was under the impression it's legit, I mean how are they even still open? 
Min **********
Well some of the things stated by media are pretty false until proper interrogation so just don't judge them with what the media said because some are not 100% true. So don't be surprise they were found innocent
Bobby ********
Lucky Jerey. They were "found innocent" because they made the right "arrangements"! 🤣🤣🤣
Bobby ********
They charge a fortune for services which may not be 100% legal. Money pushed under the table. Most people prefer to do things the proper way!
Reiner *********
@Bobby *******
may be ... for sure not ... they „ fabricate „ the. Statement ... but the officers get paid good not to look close .... I know an agent who charge now 50 k ... but you get all in 3 days Michael ********

Read the post earlier where the guy still cannot get his passport back, there is also another well known one up North that really screwed up and resulted in people getting deported and banned from the country. As they say in Thailand its up to you.
