Has anyone here had experience with Chiang mai buddy visa services? I was going to do my self defence visa with them but I'm hearing mixed reviews... Time is an important factor for me and really can't be screwed over that.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around the experiences with Chiang Mai Buddy (CMB) visa services specifically for a self-defense visa. There are mixed reviews about their service, with some users noting that CMB charges 35K for the visa, while others have found that using Jet's direct service can save money, with prices starting from 33K. Participants suggest that going directly to Kuhn Jet is preferable, as CMB doesn't provide necessary documentation, all of which comes from Jet's school and the Ministry of Education (MOE). Timing and reliability are highlighted as significant concerns for the poster.

I think CMB charge 35K whereas Jet does it direct from 33K. You might even get it for less than 33K if you are lucky.

I agree with

, you sure don't need CMB to enroll in Jets school. The prices are the same and CMB can't give you one piece of paper about the ED visa because it all comes from Jet's school and the MOE.

Go direct to Kuhn Jet at H2H combat. No need to use an agen.
