that is exactly what they are trying to do.

Its easy enough to install a vpn on on a firestick .I use bitdefender and had to Google how to install it. Works with Netflix and most other things I use for most of the time.

@John *******

the non o is for 90 days then you extend for 12 months. Some agents get them both together which gives 15 months but the next extension will be 12 months.

@Ally ***********

I was not expressing an opinion but, as I said, in my experience most of what you have said is not correct. It is a fact that I have accomplished exactly what you say is not possible.

@Ally ***********

mostly complete nonsense based on my personal experience.

@Jim *******

well that is not my experience at all. I used an agent twice during covid as I could not go home and did not trust the covid extension being continued. Once I got access to 0 baht and put it in my Thai bank I had no issues getting the third stamp issued at my local IO. No checks were made other than I had the 0 in the bank for 3 months prior to application. (I know it should be 2 but they insisted on 3). As I was two days short I had to go back the following week and all was fine.

@Roberto ********

what you say is not a fact it is incorrect information. Your point about it being better to do it yourself is valid but it is quite possible to use an agent that gets you a perfectly legal stamp and then, next year, if you meet the requurements, get the stamp at your local immigration office. I'm not arguing with you anymore because I know j am 100% correct.

@Roberto ********

you are totally wrong. I speak from personal experience so why dont you just keep quiet on the issue?

@Roberto ********

if you use an agent you are not stuck with them thereafter.

@Sangho ****

I showed the clerk the certificate I already had for health insurance and they opened an account for me without buying theirs. I had to go to the branch 4 times before I saw someone who got it done. First time they wanted me to have a work permit. Second time they thought my Visa had expired but they were looking at my used re entry permit. Yiu might find theirvindutsnve useful though. Glad you finally got your certificate of residence.
