That’s the problem with Thailand bureaucracy no other way for me to put it. They can choose to deny somebody just because they want to. They can decide to deny your documents just because they want to therefore is much better and worth it to have an agency take care of it for you. I don’t know if the agencies have to pay a little bit more to the embassy. I have no idea, but I noticed as much easier when I used to live there I got rejected for my visas all the time, and I got tired of trying to do it by myself so I hired an agency and I didn’t get rejected anymore. It’s worth the money. Trust me they would deny my documents say that the stamp is not exactly where it’s supposed to be. It’s quarter of an inch off or the signature is not exactly where it should be across the line a little bit. Trust me. It’s all about extra money cause once you pay your fee if they reject you, you gotta pay the fee again.
I say use agent for everything your visa your apartment rentals whatever you need it’s well worth the money and it’s cheap if you’re American or a foreigner it’s not like using a service in the United States for example, last service I used they charge me $50 and did all the work for me for my visaand the realtor we use when we bought our condo her commission was next to nothing compared to American realtors
I always use a service. It’s much easier. You have to spend a little bit of money but trust me it is worth the money 10 times fold what part of Bangkok did you buy your condo in my condo is in Lumpini Park. I paid 30,000 for mine but years ago.
