Thanks, I roughly understand. It's fine to use the services of an agent, but they can't use illegal methods. But that seems a bit difficult to prevent? For someone entering on a tourist visa and later wanting to switch to a Non-O visa, they likely wouldn't know the agent's methods might be illegal. Furthermore, if it's so easy to spot visa issues, wouldn't it also be easy to spot dishonest issuing offices? Hmm... am I overthinking things?😅

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

I'm curious, what's the reason for this? So if people enter with a Non-O visa and then apply through an agent, can they apply on their own the following year?

@Graham ******

Do they require a long-term visa?

Does proof of financial status need to be issued officially by a bank? Is a printed monthly bank statement sufficient?

@Dana ******

Yes, the only difference is the phone. But someone told me that banks in Thailand will ask users to go back to the branch and re-activate the app if they change their phone?

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

Yes, my phone number is registered in my own name. If it were this easy to resolve, I would return to Thailand earlier. I was worried that it might be considered a suspicious account.🤣

So what I'm experiencing might just be the bank's practice of requiring a phone number verification?😅 It would be great if it were that easy to fix. I was worried that my account was blocked because it was considered suspicious.🤣
