than why you live in Thailand. It's the standard. Thailand is the sex capital of the world but it's illegal. Vaping is illegal but every shop sells them. It's Thailand, that's how things work. Every middle school student drives a scooter to school even though they are not legal age. You 10 yr old driving. You must be so naive to know the real thailand
one thing to learn i have realized in Thailand that common sense is thrown out the window and policies are written so nobody and including government offices don't understand their own words written.
it's not doing nothing, trust me the Thai bank is investing your money on foreign banks and drawing interest with your money while they basically give no interest for loaning them the money. I have yet still to see a more expensive demand for a visa.
my first go around I used a agency and then the second year i funded my account and went to immigration and they approved it without me leaving the country and re-enter. Recently I had to leave for medical emergency while my visa expired and I used an agency and now with all the crack down on agency recently I am wondering about next year if the agency option for renewal will be available.
