ORIGINAL POSTER

After challenges trying to obtain a non O visa through the consulate whilst in my home country, I travelled to Thailand on a Visa exemption and engaged the Thai Visa Centre.  I have to say it was so professional and responsive agency to assisting me in obtaining a Visa.  Thank you so much.  👌🏻

Good to hear you solved the problem. My Thai wife is my visa agent. She charges a lot more than you paid.

I must say I’ve spent too many hours sat in various offices getting stuff. Last time I went with Miss Grace very fast service and always kept updated

To the many people that think agents are corrupt and not worth the price it's good to see someone post their positive experience. I definitely use a Visa agent for anything and everything immigration related. Outsourcing tasks to experts is just smart business.

Rick Kowalewski cancelled my application without notifying me until 3 days before I was leaving. This was after I had tried to call and email over a two week period. I had given myself 6 weeks leed time with the application. I had selected the incorrect word to describe my passport. 😂
