@Khun ****

it is 1900 THB to extend - not 10k

Anonymous participant 354 See quite a few of these - advertising their services within Thailand. Just needs a Thai with a broken rice bowl.

For PR you need to be on a Non-Immigrant Visa for 3 years paying taxes etc if going the employment rather than family route. You can do that on your current "B". Going to DTV and then back to a Non-Immigrant is going to reset the clock to zero whterh it is B again or LTR.

@Joel ******

You can extend one time per entry - NOT one time in the 5 years validity of the visa.

Good info - looks like the agency is responsible for obtaining the visa and then it is up to you. Fair enough is that is the service you paid for. As for follow up the only real things are your TM30 and TM47 (90 Day report) - just ask in here and people can help. As you know for extension in-country you would have to basically supply all the application info updated along with residence requirements depending on the Immigration Office. Leaving thailand and returning gets you another 180 days without resubmitting documents.

A few of us had suspicions about a flurry of recent posts about them too. :-) Maybe just overzealous marketing? As long as all paperwork supplied and they are an approved DTV Soft Power supplier it should be no issue getting approved.

Bus from Nong Khai to Vientiene is about 140 Baht. Book on 12Go I think it is.

@Harry *******

When?

@Pete ******

I do not think he has ever posted without something not being factual. He makes it up as he goes.

@Sebastian ********

Vietnam Embassies have asked for proof you are still in country a few times according to lists in this group. Asking for time stamped receipts in country.
