How legal is it to obtain a retirement visa in Thailand through an agency?
Dave **********
Only upside I see,is you don't have to keep 800,000k sitting in a bank,or 400,000k minimum after you got the visa,invest it,and that will more than pay for the agent,bribes are commonplace, and it won't stop anytime soon,but as they say "up to you"
