So I basically have a non-B visa with work permit. I reminded my company a month in advance that I need the documents to extend my visa. But they delayed a lot as I am the first foreigner in the company and they do not know the procedures. I now have about a week to get my visa extended.

They are still trying to go through the normal route without a visa agent and I think they have the necessary documentations already. But they said that if the immigration officer requests for any additional documents, we may need to pay for a visa agent. They company expects me to pay for this. Is this normal? I feel like I would be paying for their mistakes as I reminded them a month in advance.

And what are the documents that are needed? Is it possible to get the visa extended within a week? O

Brand New on the group, so forgive me if the questions have been asked before.

I’m over 50 and looking to retire in Thailand.

I’ve seen that there is a long term residents visa for over 50s (10 years)

Is there agents that can help with these. I contacted one and they said they couldn’t help or do you have to apply for yourself on line.

What is the cost of these types of visas?

Finally, if I went for a standard retirement visa and used an agent, what is the average cost of agents fees?
