Hi , what are agents charging for the retirement visa , the person would need the agent to show the finances. It would be better if agent in Pattaya area as he will rent a condo there.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Agents in the Pattaya area charge between 15,500 to 30,000 THB for assistance with retirement visas, with annual renewals costing roughly half of the first year's fee.

thanks for reply, I’ll pass this on , he will be getting a multi entry retirement visa. He was there in March / April and a few people told him it was nearly impossible to get retirement visa and bank account in Pattaya and he might need to go to Bangkok , fingers crossed he gets an agent that can get him sorted out.
