Agent recommendations in Hua Hin? 🙏🏻🏆

Situation: Changing from business visa to retirement visa. Meet all the requirements, got the bank funds etc, got all the paperwork, confident could easily do it myself.

But .. always nice to not have to wait in every line and get possibly hassled about every 'discretionary' detail. Take a nice agent friend have it all go smooth.

Thanks for sharing resources that you found useful!☺️

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post asks for recommendations for visa agents in Hua Hin to assist with changing from a business visa to a retirement visa. Several commenters share their experiences and suggest specific agents such as Nicky Silarat from HuaHinvisasolutions and Fon Zajung at Thai Nexus. They also emphasize the importance of having a Thai bank account for the process, alongside cautioning about the ease of doing the application independently.

Using an agent can come back to haunt you its simple to do yourself

using an agent can haunt you if you use them to fake money in your account but if you use them to make sure the paperwork is correct, and get you appointments, etc. then it’s likely worth it. We just spent an entire day at immigration in Bangkok despite arriving at 6:10 in the morning because the agents obviously had people who get in the front of the line and scoop up all the numbers. I was 191 in the pre-entry line but 215 once I got in I’ll never do that again. 100% worth whatever agent charges to not sit from 6 AM till nearly 5 PM waiting in line.
