You’re welcome to consult with our team anytime.

The easiest approach is to apply for your Non-O in your home country first, then open your Thai bank account afterward. Once these two steps are done, third-party agents in Thailand can handle your yearly extensions at a much lower cost.

We also offer a rush service for travelers who arrive on exempt entry or tourist status without completing these steps. In those cases we can assist with opening a bank account, securing the initial Non-O, and obtaining the yearly retirement extension, typically within 1 to 3 days.

Excellent thinking. I used a Visa agent and it made life so much easier. No stress and time efficient; I can make money but I cannot make time. Plus I was happy to have things done properly. I suggest you contact the moderator of this forum. Set up a consultation to get a whole plan laid out so you know what to expect and no surprises.

It's easy to do yourself if you have all the requirements and you can save between 20-40K baht

@Tom *******

you don’t save a penny if you tie up 800k in a Thai bank at less than 1%

That's not a problem for me and all part and parcel of being able to live here within the law.

Someone reported they paid 90,000 baht a few days ago! Sounds like this guy wants them to do everything for him, so i doubt it will be 20,000, probably 40,000+. When it costs about 2,000 to do it easily yourself.

Where I live it's 20K, they was obviously scammed and there's no reason for that when it's easy to do yourself if you take the time and follow what's required.
