Hua Hin immigration actually help you. I done myself 90 day and year extension speak no thai. Meet criteria, job done ✔️.

One agent asked 43k, told me 800k needs be banked.for year. I laughed and walked out.

Agents fee pays my years health insurance.

I went to immigration Hua Hin asked requirements. Was told needed money seasoned by immigration guy but he said his friend upstairs can sort me 'special ' visa.... done 30 day extension as this took me past 60 what he said for seasoned funds. Went back applied 90 days myself and honest immigration lady gave me row for doing 30 day extension told me I wasted money didn't need it as they didn't require seasoned funds.

Always thought the initial 90 days was " always under consideration " crazy rule this. IF 800k not been in 2 months reject application is sensible way. But This is Thailand.

Stag 1 night go Petronas Towers. I done that couple months ago

up to you

@Tom ******

government will never give all thais 10k . People don't realise use agent first year they need use for 2nd year. 12 months bank statements needed and the 800k needs be seasoned. Not just in out 5 mins.

Pay 40k to an agent if meet criteria is crazy. That's year health insurance paid by doing yourself if meet criteria. 800k in bank first year then transfer 65k baht every month for 2nd year. Then empty bank. Simple. How many horror stories heard about dodgy agencies not providing service then keeping passports?

Doing visa yourself is easy if meet criteria. Don't meet criteria then up to you.

pay agent 40k or use own money. That's u choice.

No banks are 1000% safe worldwide nowadays
