Why do people always push towards agents, instead of letting them do it legally from the start?

@Robin *******

It's not

With a non-O visa/extension the restriction on employment is only within Thailand. Many non-O holders are FIFO workers who are in and out of Thailand on a regular basis. This practice is fine, and the monthly transfers of 65k can be from overseas employment. Although I'm not a FIFO worker, my first three years in Thailand, I was still working in my law firm for six months of the year. I had no pension at that stage, but Bangkok Immigration do not ask to see where the money from overseas comes from. I also moved around Thailand a bit for several years and other immigration offices I used similarly simply accepted the monthly transfers. The only criteria is the money MUST be transferred from overseas

I never have a problem. All simple. Make appointment. Show bank statement. Sign a couple of forms. Max 30 mins. Cost 1900 baht. No agent. So easy

@Tony ********

Not really. It's surprising how people overthink so many things

It's an ARRIVAL card. Think about it

@Roger *******

I'm the same. Ten years with Bangkok Bank. Not a single hiccup. Very happy with the service

Good. You can stretch your stay out to almost nine months

@Roger *******

Suspicious activity. I have the banking app on three different accounts, one with Bangkok Bank. I have had zero issues.
