Can anyone please give or have any advice for me how to go about the least stressful way of getting a 12 month visa , thankyou

I can't believe today I arrived at the immigration offices in Pattaya at 08:55 in order to submit a new application for a 12-month visa and at 09:15 I was already outside with an order to come pick up the passport tomorrow. And I do it by my self.

I would like advise on the best option for a 12 month visa please.

I have a 2 year old and and unsure of the best option is to get a education visa for him or for myself (although ive been advised he doesn't actually need a visa until 15)

I'm just unsure with all the agents and stuff people keep giving me diferent advise.

How much is a 12 month visa?

What are the requirements/ process.

Can I trust agents im scared of a fake visa obviously being a single mother I don't want to see the wrong side of the law here

Quick question if I have a 12 month visa but need to go to US for 2 or 3 months will I be able to return using the same 12 month visa
