, but he will need to fly. Cannot get in by land.

Todd McGowan Let him cook, lol! Nick is living in fantasy land. He doesn't understand what crackdown on agents even mean. He's unaware of the big 3 family in Thailand running the agency market. He think that the agents are the last line of defense. He's out of his league. Agents are never going down and we both know this, but people who lack experience doesn't. Agents crackdown imply an economic crackdown. It's like purposely killing your country.

@Nick ******

You are part of a group, in which per your own admission, you think the owner is commiting multiples crimes. You are not consistent in your beliefs. It's like if you go after someone for consuming illegal drugs, but give a pass to the dealer. You called me a hypocrite earlier, the mirror is right there buddy.

Paul Bengtsson What? Were talking about people using agents. If your agent use a certain immigration office, you can't use a different one the year after.

@Nick ******

Realistically, for 15k baht a year with agent, it cost about the same to travel to DIY. So most just use the same agent eternally. + what you lose in stocks and taxes from removing some investments. So it's a net positive value wise + less time consuming to not DIY on year 2-3-4, etc.

On top of that, in some immigration offices, you can get the initial 90 days Non-O, without an agent (DIY), even if the money is there for only 1 day. So it doesn't matter if it's a friend putting the money there or an agent. Certain immigration offices have different standard, no matter who helped you get there.

@Stuart ********

Someone friend below did that, got the extension but got fined 10k baht.

Jim Skinner An agent can put the money and 10 min later re-transfer the full amount. Hundreds of agents do this everyday.

Doug Powell Each immigration office decide how long the money need to be there for. There are immigration offices where you can get the initial 90 days Non-O, without an agent (DIY), even if the money is there for only 1 day. While there others on the opposite end where it's minimum 90 days. So in that regard, your friend putting the money into your account for 1 day, or an agent, is the same thing. Because each immigration office have different level of strictness, everything become subject to interpretation.

@Nick ******

Let me rephrase: there won't be a crackdown the way that you are perceiving it. There has been 4 crackdown in the last 8 years. But these are not the type of crackdown you want to happen. The crackdown you are looking for kick hundreds of thousands of foreigners out of Thailand, and make agency obsolete.
