I know of the malice “Agents” use, but practically the end user is not aware of what really happens.

I prepared the long list of documents asked by the Thai Administration on Internet . None of these documents were asked to me this morning and it was the Administration which connected with a ……

“Lubricator “

I must say ……. I just received a Visa for 12 months in one hour…. The immigration contacted a man who was waiting for me in my Thai bank. The Man had the bank register 800 000THB on my account . The Bank issued a Certificate stating the money on my account . The Bank then cancelled the transferred money. I returned to Immigration. I was asked for

15 000THB + 3 800 THB.

And my passport was stamped until October 14 2026.

I would not have suspected Immigration would/could liaise with obvious oblique procedures …….

I sure find this 800K rule stupid when you can show you have

no no. I came for a few days in 2023. Paid for a 12 months multiple entry Visa but went back to France and came back one time only in 2024.

I arrived again in July and hold a 90 days Visa

I used an Agency in Bangkok in 2023 . They got me a 12 months Visa in one single day.

1. Created a bank account

2. Credited it with 800 000THB

3. Got me to Immigration office

4. Stamped and granted at 17:00h

Sounds good but …….

I am back in Hua Hin with a 90 days Visa and going to apply to a 12 months Visa.

I hear that when Immigration sees on my Bank Book that on a single day 800 000THB were credited and then withdrawn, I will be in big trouble

Hi everyone

I am in contact with

“nowcompare.com” to get a cover from Regency Company. I feel uneasy because nowcompare is asking my Bank card details on their application form, which is a simple .pdf sent via email. What do you think ?

Cheers

You need to “ lube “ the people you speak to ….. if you were to use a “ Professional “, he would cost you money. But guess what ? He would lube all steps of your file
