if you remove the word "Thai" you have a sentence that works on a global level 🤣🤣🤣🤣

yep. I have a few friends that returned their U.S. passports🤣

Thailand isn't easy from an immigration perspective.

If I was working here it would be difficult to find the time.

16 years ago I closed a Mexican bank account that had around $50,000 USD.

It took almost ALL DAY to close the account.

over an extended period of time the agent fees will add up. My next renewal will cost me just 1,900 baht. And, I'll probably switch to the income method.

Be careful using an agent.

I had major hassle when I decided to switch applying for the visa on my own.

used an agent for my first year in Phuket, I even had my own funds.

When trying to renew the second year on my own I was told, rather strongly, that I had to drive 5 hours to the province where the agent had setup my initial visa.

After a 5 hour drive I was told by that immigration office that I had to drive BACK to Phuket and do it there.
