"A caveat against using a visa agent.". He did not use a visa agent, he uses someone to forge fake stamps while not being in the system. When you use an agent you are inside the system (computer), legally, like everyone else.

"Small number of westerners", tens of thousands is not a small number, as much as people from Myanmar.

Medical Visa does not exist, it is a Medical Extension, I am on it atm. Non-O is something else entirely.

Agent allows you to be hassle-free. I know the 60 days extension is 1.9k baht but it is location dependent. For a little bit more you can get it without any worry. You can also get other type of extension like medical, or visa like Non-O or Volunteer based on Non-O.

Just do it with an agent for god sake... 3.5k baht hassle free.

You started YouTube, GJ Robert!

A 3 months Medical extension cost 15-20k baht with an agent.

Use an agent like most people still in Thailand, quick and efficient.

Where is the horde of old fart who has been arguing for weeks here that plenty of people would come back because it was not that expensive, lol!

Kool Breez, if the agent says yes to take your passport, you will get the stamp no matter what. Agents are working hand and hand with some IO's. The deadline to transfer from Amnesty to Non-O via agent was around September 17-18, if you submitted after that you can only get Medical Visa due to lack of time. Agents know how long the process is.
