Hello everyone, I hope you are all well. I have a question for anyone who has used a visa agency to get them both the bank account and the visa. I am probably going this route but I would like to know if anyone has had any real difficulties doing it this way? Apart from having to use the same agency for future extensions, is there anything else to be aware of? The agency is in Bangkok and they seem great, but I live in a different province (not too faraway) and I'm just wondering if I'll run into other difficulties. I have had so many obstacles put in front of me to open a bank account and then get the extension on a Non O visa that I am feeling (probably) overly cautious. Pros and cons? Thanks. Have a great evening.
