Visa Agents are’nt legal and you are looking down a barrel when you use them!

How long do you want to stay here in Thailand?

These agents are a short term fix but nothing for the future!

They’re just rubbish!

@Jeremy *******

he wants to do it in Australia, as such he can choose the 65 thb equivalent per month in the first year. Depends on his source of income and paperwork.

He can do it in advance, eg Canberra Thai Embassy accepts his income and issues 12 month OA in advance.

It must be understood that in Australia (and other countries) it is the Thai Embassy making these decisions. In Thailand it is the Thai Immigration Police!

As it is an AO he will need health insurance for this period - by a Thai approved insurance company!

Now I know about this pathway - because I did it.

He comes to Thailand, sets up phone, accommodation and bank account. From this point he deposits the required monthly amount - 65 thb into his Thai bank.

Does his 90 Day Reporting.

Twelve months later he has satisfied the Thai Immigration requirements and can apply for a non O in Thailand.

Or, with careful timing, get 12 more months.

This is dependent on the IO in this gentleman’s chosen office applying proper guidelines and not their own flights of fantasy. You all know this can be a gamble.

I managed it - polite, correct paperwork and a smile.

I had to do one run to Laos to get the twelve months of banked income. No problem.

Please don’t go down the eventual rabbit hole of using an agent!

Take care!

@Terry *******

single or married? Look at the Thai Government Immigration website.

You’ve received good advice about talking with your local office.

@Det ******

Department of immigration needs to modern up their requirements - it’s 2025!

One officer recently made a fuss with me about wanting to see a bank account book, this over a complete bank statement.

An account book - not seen in most countries since the 1970s😵‍💫😔!

We all smile, are all polite but FFS!

@Michael *********

my BB acct is fine.

I heard months ago that you had to have your current and correct phone details in your account. Have you checked this with BB?

I agree !

I’m single retiree😉👍

@Sue *********

yes, an officer in KK told me I’ll always have to do it in person from now on!

Now I know that’s rubbish but it’s always an adventure 😉😁👍

@Max ************

I’m not sure. I’ve been using the online 90 day for years. My family have travelled regularly through this period. Suddenly the online doesn’t work and an officer tells me I have to come in. Go figure🥴😉😁

@Max ************

always. We travel monthly.

But it hasn’t interfered with my online 90 day before!
