What is a good agency to help with the visa application process in Thailand?
Can anyone recommend a good agency to help with the process to get a visa. I am currently in Thailand but will be returning to the states for a few weeks then would like to get started on getting my Thai visa.

@Greg ********
How does an agent open a bank account? Do you know anyone whos really done that? Part of the process is to verify who you are, this involves the bank checking your non o visa, taking your picture, verifing your address, and whatever the local bank manager decides whats neccessary to prevent fraud, IF an agent could do this illegal you would face the account being closed later when you wanted to change something on the account when they check the bank account details.Colin **********

ok that would work, there is not much value added

@Colin *********
the agent doesn't open the bank account. They facilitate you being able to do so. They have arrangements with the staff/management at a specific bank branch and they go with you and ensure that everything is taken care of. The bank account is yours, in your name, with your passport and KYC information.Charles ********
OP@Colin *********
no, I cannot seem to get an account open at this time. Every bank says I need the visa first. But to get a visa I have to have an account so…..

apply for visa in USA. Arrive in Thailand. Open bank account. Then apply for 12 month extension.Colin **********
@Lynnette ******
