ORIGINAL POSTERAny future foreseeable issues with using an agent, though usually against, will need go back america next year for few years as the country is in turmoil. Just want make sure no issues with agents for return. This given I don’t put back the money. Probably do Retirement next time.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around concerns about the potential future implications of using an agent for Thai visa applications, particularly given the current turmoil in the U.S. Some participants emphasize the unpredictability of immigration policies and suggest maintaining a Thai bank account and SIM card for ease of access if returning to Thailand. There are also references to the current situation in America affecting long-term plans for expats.

Not sure why you are airing your views on your own country on this Facebook site. This is about visas and hopefully advice on how to get them.

ORIGINAL POSTERQuestion was to “any foreseeable changes in the future” regarding using agents or Thai Visa Centre? America is currently a disaster in economy, housing, rioting/crime & to be announced. Time should be a few weeks but calculating a few years.

Using a agent is up to individuals no one can foresee how the immigration will act in a few years time....if u do already have a rhai bank acct I would say keep it alive and don't close the acct and keep the thai sim.....during covid I have kept both my thai bank acct and thai sim and it does make it easier for me when thailand reopens it's door

@Dwayne *******
yes, it's the age old "blame the foreigner" malarkey. I get stupid trolls posting offensive stuff because they think my name defines nationality. Mostly yanks, sad to say. But as a British person with the birthright and DNA to prove who I am, it's just pathetic.Reply to
