@Todd ********

sounds good Todd glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for the information on Visa also

@Todd ********

yep you're right Todd the answer is no but what might be clear to you might not necessarily be clear to others we're both Canadian and from the same Providence. And it looks like we're both in Thailand now, so I found it very beneficial to take some advice from Thai people.. relax my friend

@Tony ****

exactly what my dad used to say Tony. Take care

This is a valid question I myself as well as many others probably thought the same thing and wondered. Don't be put out by some of the idiot negative comments

@Brandon ***********

yes that's true and some charge less than that and some charge more than that. I am just stating my personal preference instead of facing the lineups the bureaucracy and the time involved in doing it oneself.

Seeing an agent is always a good idea regardless of immigration leasing or whatever. Facebook groups do not always offer the best advice.

@Garry *******

best advice on here

@Jeff ******

pretty defamatory comment. There are a lot of good helpful legal agents out there.

I find it easiest to hire a Visa agent to do everything for me. It is a little bit more money but I feel the convenience and time factor is worth it. There is a lot of conflicting information on Facebook I find

I came in on a tourist stamp 30 day. My first Non O Visa had a 15 months expiry date this because I got a 90 day extension before the 12 month non O Visa. This is how it was done for me when I first got the Non O Visa. Now Non O visa renewal is 12 months each time. When I got the first non o visa I also got a Thai car and Motor bike license, a bank account and a multiple entry permit and they due 90 day check-ins for me all for the 50k I mentioned originally. For me this a good way to go because I don't want to stand in line ups wondering if all my ducks are in a row. The agent does everything for me. I only hand my passport to him for renewal once per year and pick it up when he has completed with immigration for me.
