Is it common for visa agents in Thailand to hold your passport while you meet the $800k Baht requirement for a Non-O retirement visa?

Remember you get 60 days exempt stamp anyway so as it stands a tourist visa isn’t really of any benefit. Only if they reduce the visa exempt from 60 days to 30 would it become beneficial again
