@Todd ********

where and who? My agent, a very prominent agent 8n Pattaya says he can no longer do it without getting a Non O retirement visa.

It doesn't matter what you write nowadays...somebody always gonna find something wrong with it. Heck with em, don't apologize. It's not your problem, it's theirs...

@Peter *****

He's not wrong!!

@Henrik ****

I was just told last week by Mark at One Stop Pattaya that he could still do it.

@Jordee *****

it's irrelevant what they said now. The rules are changing. Not sure I would ignore them again.

74+ million per the last election that voted for Harris!😅

@Vijay ****

that's what I was saying. Immigration is cracking down, he was just relaying that to me. He is pretty reputable, so no reason to mislead me.

@Vijay ****

I've been told by an agent that are cracking down on the DTVs. The people that thought they got over are getting their applications checked post approval and are getting them rescinded. He recommended me not even pursuing one. The rules are seemingly changing midstream. Don't dshoit the messenger, just what I was told.

@Roy *******

Yep. Mark knows his stuff. People vilify us on here when we suggest using an agent, but this gentleman’s ordeal is the exact reason I use Mark. You can do everything correct, by the book, and it seems like it’s never enough. They always want something else. It is worth it to me to let Mark do all this trivial grunt work. Look at the time wasted and aggravation that the OP is dealing with, and he STILL has no guarantee of definitively getting an account. it’s just not worth the hassle.

I've read if you fly in its better for your chances. And it will be a new calendar year, so I would think you're good, but there are way more qualified people to answer than me. Good luck with it.
