What are the pros and cons of using a visa agency versus going directly to the immigration office in Thailand?

total rubbish, I have been doing mine for many years, my extension always in and out in no more than a hour, and that is a Non O based on marriage, easy if you are organized, which obviously you are not.

What are the pros and cons of using a visa agency versus going directly to the immigration office in Thailand?

Rob **********

Most people tend to use a visa agent for 2 reasons, either they are too lazy to do it themselves, or they don’t meet the legal requirements for the visa they are on. It is very easy to do it yourself, if you meet the requirements.

What is the 20,000 Baht cash requirement for entry to Thailand?

Rob **********

It is still a requirement to enter Thailand, sometimes immigration may ask to see 20,000 baht or equivalent in foreign currency, most times not. Either way it is still a legal entry requirement.
