Just setup and register a school, make a curriculum and teach people something, plus hire 4 Thai people. That should be all you need to do to do it yourself.

If you want a simple education visa, you can go to the school or go through an agency and it's exactly the same price.

If you don't want an education visa and are over 50 with 800k in the bank it's easy too. Do it yourself 1900 baht.

If you are over 50 and don't have 800k in the bank go down some back alleys and you will find someone who knows someone who knows someone in immigration and you'll pay and get a visa.

Sometimes after 2 or 3 consecutive ed visas they ask questions in Thai and if you don't understand they get suspicious.

The new online 90 days is 30 seconds after you log on.

There's Chiang Mai Family Guide

visa prices are the same as before. An imaginery "changeover" fee that can't be published is the extra agent fee you are suggesting.

There is no extra agent fees and never has been except the actual immigration facing agents that hold people's hand at immigration.

All the schools charge what they were charging pre COVID, just have to accept the convenience changeover fee.

If you get your initial education visa outside Thailand, the price is normal.

There's never been a 25k one year visa option in the 12 years I have been in Chiang Mai.

very old advice.

Depends on how much you pay? If it's as they are claiming, it's not legit!
