Anyone have an idea how much agent will cost for Non o retirement visa where I would use swift payment of 800,000.

I'm planning on going to Laos to apply for the non-o 90 day visa, I have 4 weeks left on my 60 day exempt tourist visa (Australian). I am living in Udon Thani and have a 12 month contract on a condo, the TM 30 has been done for 12 months by the agent and condo owner, I will visit the immigration office in Udon Thani soon to get a residence certificate.

I have the required 3 months bank statements necessary for the visa application....the question is should I use a visa agent in Vientiane, Laos to help with applying for the visa through the Thai embassy in Vientiane and does anyone have recommendations of a good visa agent in Vientiane.

Thank you in advance.

Hey, my 90-day mark on my DTV visa is coming up, so I need to do my 90-day report. I heard the first one has to be in person. Can I send a visa agent to handle it for me? Also, I need a certificate of residency to convert my international driver’s license. Any recommendations for reliable agents in Bangkok? Thanks!

Hi Everyone

Can somebody from this group recommend Assisit visa agen(chiang Mai)for retirement visa?I already got non O 3 months from Chiang Mai immigration .Thank You

Approved. Soft skills. Muay Thai. Cambodia. German Passport.

Applied: Friday August 8th

Approved: Wednesday evening August 27th

I've been living in Thailand since 2013. Mostly on Marriage Visa and extensions, but the past 2 years a mix between border runs ( 60 day arrival stamps ) and 1 year ED-Visa.

I chose Muay Thai Fever for documents. They did advice to go to basically any country other than Cambodia, because they are known to be difficult. But, I was a bit stubborn. I've been wanting to visit Cambodia / Angkor Wat for years already and decided to stay in Siem Reap for the time. If push comes to shove, I'd just try again in Vietnam.

I also used Issa Compass to handle all the paperwork and submit the documents. Very reasonable price + money back guarantee if I get declined. No brainer for me.

I provided Issa Compass with all documentation and they submitted everything Friday August 8th. I should mention, I already have 2 Bank accounts in Thailand. Both were way under 500k. I topped "sleeper" account up to 500k in May of this year...so about 3 months prior to applying. I gave Issa 6 months worth of statements with almost no transactions except the 500k deposit in May.

The following week I was asked if I can provide a different bank statement "to make my case stronger". I provided my everyday account statement, also 6 months...but balance always around 20k. ( I hold most my assets in crypto and convert to THB as needed ).

They agreed to use that bank account as well, eventhough it was way below 500k.

A few days passed, and I was asked when I opened those accounts and which Visa. ( I was surprised and scared by those questions ). I provided pictures of my Visas for ~8 years ago ( mind you, I have a new passport since then as well ).

Then another few days later, they wanted some other document from Muay Thai Fever gym. They explained usually its not needed ( Cambodia apparently is the only embassy that asks for this one specific document ). I forwarded the information to my Agent Issa Compass. They understood the explanation.

Another ~2 weeks passed and I got the Approved! Email.

Without the Visa agent / Issa Compass I would have failed surely. I assume some?all? Visa agents have a direct line of communication with the embassy to handle missing paperwork. Whereas a normal applicant would possibly just get a rejection with or without explanation.

I submitted my application to Hanoi on August 18th, but received a rejection on the 20th. I was working remotely, and all the documents were in order. Why was it rejected in just 2 days? If I change my soft skills documents and submit them again, will I have a chance? Do you have any reliable agents to recommend? I am in Vietnam now.

Just heard a rumour that Hua Hin Immigration Services are not accepting bank accounts for Retirement Visa 800,000 baht from Bangkok Bank because they are under investigation. Any truth to this?

We need a Visa agent that serves Phetchaburi district.

I have a request, I am in Thailand I was told I could convert a tourist visa into a non O visa, went to immigration in Nakhon Sawan to ask l, they would not help or tell me what steps I need to take, I am wanting to end up with a retirement visa as soon as I can. Any good advice would be appreciated, I’m sorry I do not have a bank account in my name, I have proof of residency, I believe I was given bad information from someone already living here, he said I should just come over on a tourist visa and change it to a non O visa once I arrived, now I am finding out I should had just applied when I was home and came in like everyone is saying Thanks

Hi everyone

Me and the Mrs intend to retire somewhere around Hau Hin. This is the plan when I retire at 62 in April 2027.

We will have £400,000 approx from our UK house sale and I will have a pension of £12,000 per annum until we receive our state pension in 2032.

We intend to use this money combined to live and rent.

We are coming for a three week visit next March, is there anything we could be doing in March to get the ball rolling.

We intend to use agents to sort everything out for us so any recommendations will be welcomed.

We realise our plans are in the future and things change but we feel any knowledge is better than non.

Thank you in advance for any help given.
