I’m not naive. I know it’s not strictly ‘legit’ as with so many things in Thailand and life. I know that many people in Thailand are on very limited means and to them paying an agent 1000 bucks is huge if it doesn’t work out. Fortunately I’m not in that position myself. It’s a calculated risk I have taken, pure and simple.
that's all just bollocks (did you actually listen to/watch those? Nope? Thought not).. name me ONE person who has been 'banged up' or deported due to using a visa agent. NO ONE.
