What are the best visa agency recommendations for obtaining a retirement visa in Thailand?

Fuel pressure?

Thai Ambassy can help you my Child

The Visa Centre. Not the cheapest but the best. They stay in contact with you through the whole process. If course you can do it yourself if you have 0 , but only do it with a mainland and not an island immigration office.

I used A&S. It was a bit expensive but who else going to get you retirement visa with non O 90 days and one year extension, 2 stamps in less than 4 hours. Well worth the money. They deposit the 0 for you and straight to the head of line at immigration. And we'll open bank acct for you and you can get a sim card at airport for 30 days to use for immigration and than get a phone acct anywhere after your stamps. Easy peezy

Hard work? What are you talking about?

Aom pls help

It’s not easy and it takes time and language can be a problem. If I had to do over I would use an attorney in BKK and have retirement visa in 24hours.

For y’all anti agents dudes: You still need an agent to open a bank account and deposit the 800 k…. Then you come here patronizing the rest of us and preaching against fueling corruption in Thailand… you are full of … 5555

Thailand 🇹🇭 so many questions and issues and changes all the time of visas. Philippines, just do your extension once a month and you can stay forever. It’s just getting a good contact at the local immigration office. Extension is around USD 50 a month. Rental in the province another USD 300 plus utilities and food. Living comfortably for around USD 600 a month. No deposit in the bank, all paperwork done by yourself. And if you an US ex-army there’s a special agreement that makes your life in Philippines easier, check on Google

Don't use knight visa

What is this 'hard work' you speak of?

If you have the money in bank do it yourself. Go to bank first thing in the morning get a letter and update pass book. Then go immigration get the form. The office to the left hand side of immigration will fill the form in for you if you have difficulty with it. They also make sure you have all the right copys of passport stamp from when you entered and front page and a passports size photo of yourself. Cost about 500 baht 1900. Baht total 2400 baht. Real cost including taxis would be about 3000baht . First. Some agents charge baht so total savings on that 9000baht

I do not support corruption, I'd rather have the 800,000 THB in my Thai bank account, I don't give a royal f...t for the interest lost, I simply can afford to loose it. But I sleep well, knowing I did it the legal route and haven't paid any bribes to a corrupt immigration. The bank letter takes 20 minutes, my Immigration takes 25 minutes and 1900.- THB and 1000.- for a single re-entry permit, thank you mesdames et messieurs, see you next year!

Best advice Is come here for a 60 /90 days you will get bored after 14 days I am here for 21 days can't wait to get back home unless you have a business here to keep you occupied you will be bored out of your head

Don't put the cart before the horse, use the 60 day exempt visa, then check out Vietnam, Cambodia, Phil's etc, then circle back for another 60 Day exempt visa, and if it still feels a good fit and vibe for you, then proceed with applying for retirement Visa.

Pay yourself, by doing it yourself, not rocket science

What hard work?

Your location and country of passport?

Mots services they advertise 12.5 k full services

Maneerat Soi , Pattaya.....29,000bahts for a multi entry.

Is it right you have to forever leave 400 k out of the 800 k in the bank as long as you want you retirement visa

Dead money?

Maybe that’s why many retirees use an agent

I haven't got to that point, but I've been following the Retirement and also Marriage Visa posts for two years now, read hundreds of posts & thousands of comments in three Facebook groups. There's always some that use agents, but I would say that there's just as many, if not more, that do it themselves. The reason: Agents charge tens of thousands of Baht for doing Visas, but the client, you, have to do most of the work yourself anyway, the Agent can't get the required documents for you, you have to do it yourself. Once you get the documents together, you hand them to the Agent and all he does is go into the Immigration Office and lodge the application. If you are retired, which means not working, surely a little time out of your day to go into the Immigration Office yourself can't be too much of an inconvenience.

Hard work? Are you serious? 😂😂😂

One Stop Visa .. Soi 6 Pattaya. Bank Account, Retirement Visa and both car and bike licences was baht. Super easy to deal with. Super efficient and good friendly staff. The whole process was a breeze.

You are absolutely on the right track to get an agent to take care of all this. I used an agent for my initial retirement visa as well as my renewal and the 90 day reporting. I place a high value on my time and convenience and this way it got done quickly. BTW, my agent is out on travel otherwise I'd pass along her info.

If you have the ฿800,000, do it yourself.

It's simple..

And another problem with agent retirements is that once you're on that slippery slope, it's difficult to change back to the norm I.e. doing it yourself...

And, also, using myself as an example, I'm on over twenty five yearly extensions...that's over ฿400,000 in agents' fees...$12,000US....

What province do you intend to live in? You need to have a bank account in that area. And therefore agent there too

Tik tok jontien very good 👍

If you are legally qualified it's very easy to do yourself.
