ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The community discussion suggests that hiring an agent to apply for a visa in Thailand, particularly the NON-O visa, is not necessary. Most comments recommend applying independently and advise having a friend review the paperwork to avoid mistakes. It is noted that the application must be done outside of Thailand, and self-filing is generally preferred to save time and effort.
