What are some reputable companies that assist with Thai visa processing at reasonable prices for expats?

It is true I agree, I am very experienced but it almost seems to have asked for a residence permit. In Italy for a multi entry tourist visa they asked me for 4 plane tickets! Even the exit flight after 4 months!

Using an agent is not expensive it creates work and makes life a lot easier for immigration officers who must get sick of people turning up with incomplete documents

, you say that you're a Digital Nomad. So, I guess that you're a reasonably smart guy. I see you have only just joined this Group. I've been a member less than a year myself and if everything goes well for me, I will move to Thailand in 2025...on a Retirement Visa or Non-O Visa based on Marriage, which, I'm not sure about just yet.

My suggestion for you, is over the coming months, so as I have done:

1)view as many Posts in the group as you can that look like they might contain information that could benefit you.

2) learn especially from the Admin and Moderators of the group; they have vast experience that they have gained over a long period of time. I have the highest respect for those guys. Over the months, you will learn who of the other members are sources of good information also.

3) ask questions in the group about anything you're not sure about. Someone will guide you in the right direction.

4) work out what part of Thailand that you want to live. Related to that, understand that Thailand has it's written Laws, BUT, the Immigration Office of each Province has it's own 'laws' or interpretations of the Laws, so knowing the specific requirements of the Province that you'll want to live in vary slightly to other Provinces. Not any major differences, just what one might require, another won't.

5) Most group members will probably tell you that it's not too hard to do anything yourself in regards to obtaining Visas and Visa Extensions and it will be a lot less costly. There's also less likelihood also, that you could run into any future troubles caused by using Visa Agents that are dodgy and use bribes to get Immigration Officials 'get things done easily'. There are good Agents, but you just need to make sure they do things the right way.

Those are some things I've learnt during 2023.

Lastly,

5) you will find a small number in the group, as there are anywhere on Facebook, those who will make smart *ss comments, belittle, or be rude to you in some way. It seems to me that these ones either lack self esteem or are bored with their lot in life and want to try and make themselves feel better at other expense. Ignore these ones, or if they pop up too often and have nothing useful to say, just block them and they won't see anything you post & you'll not see their comments. The latter is what I've done with a few in the group recently.

Hey Matt, no need for school and Ed visa when with advice from members here you can easily come visa Exempt and combine with extensions and border bounces probably make it to your 50th bd allowing you to do as others have already advised and apply for one of the retirement visas. I suggest dedicating some time to go to the home page here and read as many posts from the past written by folks who were in a similar situation that you and your Pops find yourselves in, and ask here if anything is confusing. I got my non-O visa that way. You'll also soon get familiar with the names of those associated with rock solid advice, the couple of quacks, and those that may not know everything, but are honest good folk trying to help. If you don't have the time to do the work, or it's still a bit too confusing, and you're good with the fees, there is NO shame in using a well recommended agency, such as the owners of this page. Best wishes and Cheers!

…. She do visas 👍🏽

Seeing how your 49 you could first come on a 30 Visa exempt and extend that for another 30. You could then check out some Thai Language Schools and apply for a one year Education Visa to study Thai. If you plan on staying long term it’s nice to know some Thai. Once you turn 50 you could then apply for Retirement Visa.

The reason it's super complicated and the reason there are so many hoops to jump through is because they are in league with these agencies. Why else would they pay huge sums to get these jobs in immigration! The whole system is built around corruption. TIT

The name of this FB group is ???

and administered by 'Thai Visa Centre'

send a message or via the 'Line App,' or their website.

No matter where your location is in Thailand.

Five ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ service, and have many ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews.

Don’t do it. Do your visa stuff yourself. If you’re really gonna live here, most visas are like 1900 baht per year vs 100,000 from these mostly lawyer-crooks… and your local immigration likely won’t deal with you unless you get a new passport to clear yourself of the semi-legit stamps via the agency … & that new passport must be issued in your home country. Not an embassy. Your shady visa past from using an agency will follow you otherwise. And then you start visa process in Thailand from scratch. The legit way. I know because I’ve been there 😭 If you’re gonna live here, you need to know how the systems work and how to operate within them. Suck it up and learn how yourself 😊 empowering in the long run and saves you time and money, actually. Wish I had known. Learned the hard way haha 😆

Got my 60 day tourist Evisa a few month back. was simple to do. wny would you pay somebody to do something you can do ?

I agree. As a newbie, it is very complicated. So I sympathise...There are some very helpful comments, but even here they sometimes seem to contradict each other. I'm going to discuss my options at Maneerat in Pattaya, which seems to be a highly respected agency amongst expats.

I suspect it’s way easier for you to come to Thailand than a Thai to try to stay in your country.

It’s not rocket science. There are procedures and requirements depending on what visa type you’re after, but once you got that figured out there’s documentation on exactly what’s needed.

Why don't you mention what is complicated to you, and I bet the members here can give you as clear explanations as any agent or company.

If you think that's complicated wait until you arrive here. Everything is complicated lolol.

It's not that difficult if you know what visa you want

What kind of visa and what are the struggles? Or u already gave up?
