interesting for sure. I flew LAX - BKK last and absolutely nobody was being boarded without proof of onward travel

I’m sure if you look hard enough you will find someone with a bad experience… who cares? And agency with a bad reputation won’t be in business long.

The simple fact is that agencies have been doing business for many years here. And some of you seem to have a weird obsession with painting these Thai businesses in a bad light.

My suggestion is that people use one of the many reputable agencies available including the owner of this visa page. If they do not wish to go thru the immigration office and bank hassles… so they can enjoy retirement. And no need to tie up 800k at 0%. Not exactly the savviest financial decision one can make

using the agent is just fine. Done in Thailand (and many other nations) for decades. And of course you don’t put the 800k in your account. No need to tie it up. That’s often why people use and agent. And great convenience.

And you get a perfectly legal stamp from an immigration officer. 👍

fair enough. What is their new timeline?

But I gotta think nobody going to take aim at agents here. Or any other country for that matter. The money has a particular flow… that won’t get disrupted. And they are generally Thai businesses in service for many years.

those are two very different things. It IS everyone’s experience. At least for the people who actually have used an agent.

It is not everyone’s opinion. Largely because they have no experience. The difference is quite crucial

@Steve *******
haha, me too. And the agents are great for that!!

@Anna ********
it’s very easy to change from them. But why would you want to?

unless you exit and start over. Which is easy enough. I’m not sure why anyone would be desperate to not use the agent though. Most people use them continuously
