@Colin ********

Thank you. That’s very reassuring. I don’t mind paying extra fees. I just need a bank account so I can get my visa extension, which the agency will do.

That’s what I thought but it’s not happening in a smaller city like Nakhon Pathom which isn’t exactly crawling with tourists. I think I need to go with an agency and open a bank account in Bangkok.

@Jared ********

Hi Jared, what type of visa do you have? Did you consider paying an agency?

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

Hi, I’m in contact with the agency that opened this FB page. 😊

@Tullio ******

the Italian Embassy? 😂😂😂 It took me 9 months to get my passport renewed.

@Jared ********

Nakhon Pathom is only an hour from Bangkok so, that would work for me. I do everything on line anyway. Thanks for your help and your suggestions.

I’ve been to so many banks I can’t even remember anymore! Also, I don’t speak Thai yet so I had two friends translating (and battling) for me. I wonder if I go to Bangkok Bank in Bangkok it might be easier.

@Max ************

Your guess is as good as mine. I have no idea. They said they can give me one only if I need to buy a motorcycle. 😂 I have a feeling the person there didn’t really understand what I need. If you happen to have one, would you mind taking a picture of it and sending it to me? (pm if you prefer). Perhaps if they see what it looks like, they’ll do one for me. Thanks.

Hi Peter, thanks for the information. I was wondering if you could perhaps send me a photo (private message if you prefer) of the residence letter the immigration office gave to you. Perhaps if I show it to the immigration office here, they will understand what I need. Thanks.

@Jared ********

Hi Jared, thanks for the answer and the wise advice. What agency did you use?
