@Cris *****

- yes I followed your previous posts... there's no doubt in my mind everything they did to you was 100% deliberate and had sod all to do with Immigration policy.

When they visited our house I blew up at them because I had enough of their scam bullshit. My wife made me go into another room after they got a piece of my mind. I actually threatened to report them for harassment.

Having had time to reflect on their scamming attitude because we all know it's about getting money from agents I'm seriously thinking of doing the 65k method if there's a repeat next year of the same bullshit.

In regards to that I have no doubt whatsoever that next year will be the same crap from them making things up. Someone who replied to one of your earlier posts said they know someone who's been going through this shit with them for 20 years! It's shameful the way they are treating farangs who are contributing and in the main supporting Thai families. I also have no doubt it also goes right to the top 🤬

@Cris *****

yep 65k a complete rip off because you will still have to come up with all the necessary paperwork required.

The only difference in my opinion is that they won't make up all their pathetic excuses asking for unnecessary documents with an agent because the agent of course pays over money in the brown envelope 🙄

So Cris are you still going to use an agent next time around?

I would do so but I agree with you they charge way too much.

I'm probably going to put myself through it one more time next year, but after that I might go back to either 800k in the bank or send over 65k per month... have time to think about it before next July...I might start sending over 65k per month 2 months prior because if it's as horrendous as this year at least I will have made a start on the 65k method ready for the next year.

One thing I won't be doing is using an agent so that their greasy palms are tapped 🙄🤬

- thank you I might look into it, I assume it's an app like Wise? Good to know it's higher than Wise what about the fees?

I noticed recently that Wise have stopped comparing themselves with the real competition and now use banks to compare with, most alarming 🙄

@John *********

- that's good to know how do you find their exchange rates compared to Wise and what was your Thai bank account?

@Jim **********

- why don't you do Wise to K Bank apparently there is no issue with K Bank?

Your comment suggests you are moving away from the Non O based on marriage (banking 65k a month when it states it can be as little as 40k) to the 800k method, it's actually 400k when married.

May I ask you for your reasons, are you getting a lot of hassle with the visa based on marriage and which office is it?

Many thanks 🙏🏼

I'm not aware of a worse Bank in Thailand... perhaps someone may tell me different 🤔

@Andrew *******

- did they accept the monthly 40k method in your case and which office was it? Many thanks 🙏🏼

@Tod ********

- are you saying that they won't accept the monthly method of 40k x 12 because the website indicates either can be chosen, I did post a screenshot but it's disappeared, it was from the official website. This is Korat office I'm talking about they were extremely difficult to deal with making unreasonable hoops to jump through that's why I am asking because I simply don't trust anything they may tell me as mentioned above one may say this another that. I don't mind going there but they seem to make up there own rules which are not following the official website.

I followed their own list and nothing was good enough for them endless ridiculous requests for things not even mentioned. I expect you saw the other guy also dealing with Korat Immigration they did the same to him.

I would love to hear your experiences based on this particular office if you don't want to post publicly here please PM me we have chatted before on Messenger last year.

Thank you Tod 🙏🏼
