Friend applied in Hanoi. Gave 3 months of statements and only the most recent had $17,000.

Their agent also asked them for a balance letter since they applied in middle of month.

Approved.

What country is your passport from?

Where did you apply?

Have you considered consulting with an agent even if you don’t use their services?

all bow to YUZA for determining worthiness to enter and remain in Thailand.

any part of Chiang Mai: it’s a city with a village vibe. Find the old city and go 5-20 minutes in any direction. Tons of cafes, restaurants, massage, friendly people, western brands.

Chiang Mai doesn’t have all the brands BKK does. And isn’t a city.

What you gain is nature, better prices, the friendliest region of people and their love for pork.

While I ultimately didn’t use your service, I still recommend you to others for being fast, professional, excellent communication, and a proven track record of helping applicants apply successfully.

How much does a bangkok gym cost?

Remember: this cost is once. If you spread it over 5 YEARS of having the visa and a bangkok gym is 30,000฿ you will have paid less than $100/year to be registered there.

I think there are smarter ways to save/invest money than trying to “cheat” the system because you don’t like spending money.

I didn’t work with them but they’ve had hundreds of successful applications.

I’m not here to defend them.

Hope you found someone to work with you.

Are you sure?

Let’s put significantly higher into perspective:

300 or even 500 £/€/$

For an agent to nearly guarantee an approval.

Be on call almost and answer all of your questions

Walk you through every step

Apply and triple check your app

Provide a refund if rejected

Have experience with all supporting docs

Have experience with consulate staff and knowing what they’re looking for

Providing accurate approval timelines

Oh! And it’s for FIVE YEARS.

Agents are worth it.

Ahhhh bup bup bup bup

Yes, you can do it on your own cheaper. At what cost? Mentally, time wise, etc

Do what makes the most sense for you.

Summed up very nice.
