Is there a recommended agent for immigration services in Korat for Non-O visa holders?
does anyone know of an agent in Korat
I know alot of people will say you dont need an agent for the immigration office and driving license but its for my peace of mind not worried about the money as to me it will be worth it for me as we only have 3 days in korat I have tried 1 but they Arte not interested as I have a non o visa already just want to speak to an agent to see

@Henrik ****
An agency said, 4,400 THB, converting a Western driving license, only eye and reflex test. No exams. Other things (you have a residence certificate, at least retirement O visa, they sort it out. After 2 hours you walk out with a Thai driving license.Warren *************
OPI have an agent now to process my tm30/thai driving licence and open a bank account 9000THB plus what ever the licence and processing the immigration so not a bad price for the 1st time just waiting for my non o visa which I should get by Wednesday

I've heard that Korat immigration is a nightmare, so using an agent is probably a smart thing.

Warren Yogi Baehr Maybe 'Buttercup' ? Downtown near the old busstation 🤷♂️
Roger ********
Disagree with that. Korat is always helpful. Never had a problem in years.
Peter ****************
@Max ************
Very strange. Used it 8 times already. Only one time it took 2,5 hours because of a truckload of imm. with an Agent. Did not see complaints. Which group ?Max *************
@Peter ***************
Do you think 2.5 hours is ok? My extensions at Jomtien immigration takes less than 10 min every year.Peter ****************
@Max ************
1 time in 8 years ? Is that already a problem for you ? Normally 30 minutes to one hour.Warren *************
OP@Peter ***************
