What are the latest requirements and options for extending a retirement visa in Thailand?

Richard ******

@Brandon ***********

As do I. I just feel in the last 10 years, looking at Thailand in isolation, they have increased bureaucracy to push people towards using an agent for 1. Smoothing things over if requirements are not met 2. The cost of an agent is cheaper than losing a day of your time to bureaucracy. Either way, the people in uniforms get paid, those jobs and promotions don't come cheap!

That's the point of using an agent then isn't it! I'm convinced there are so many requirements to encourage both those who can meet the requirements and those that can't to use agents, we ALL know why!

What are some reputable companies that assist with Thai visa processing at reasonable prices for expats?

Richard ******

The reason it's super complicated and the reason there are so many hoops to jump through is because they are in league with these agencies. Why else would they pay huge sums to get these jobs in immigration! The whole system is built around corruption. TIT

You can find a visa agent who will "smooth things over" for around 4k for a border bounce and around 10-12k for a visa run.
