TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking recommendations for an agent to help process an O X visa, having already gone through the O A visa application and wanting to avoid a repetitive process. Comments highlight that the O X visa must be obtained from the applicant's country of residence, similar to the O A visa, and suggest contacting the Thai visa center for assistance.

you need to go your home citizenship country and apply from there.

Not correct. You can get OX in Thailand

You get an OX from your country of residence, just as the OA

So you cannot get an OX as they are issued by Embassies or Consulates outside of Thailand

Not quite correct. You can get the OX inside Thailand

Thanks for the correction, I'd only heard of Aussies getting it down under

Most got it from Sydney because the finances didn't have to be moved to Thailand. Getting it in Thailand means shifting the 3 million Baht (or whatever it is) to Thailand. I don't know if visa agents offer this visa and stump up the money like with the 800k for the O visa. Somehow I don't think they would

that’s what I figured. I’d have to top up the bank account and jump thru a few more hoops. I didn’t use an agent for my O non immigrant. I probably will for this. I saw someone recommend thaivisa but over on Reddit there’s some pretty strong statements about the owner being a salubrious and the visas being somewhat dodgy.

All visas obtained through an agent which skip the financial criteria are "dodgy". However, I don't know if visa agents in Thailand will handle the OX due to the stringent requirements, and I'm sure if they do the price would be over 70,000 baht.
