Can I obtain a 90-day Visa in Thailand and later extend it to a Retirement Visa "O"?

 So long as you can tick all the boxes for the questions and have some money it is easy. I say again. You dont need an agent. The other issue, if you do use an agent you have to use that agent all of the time going forward. Its not just a one time thing. You and your passport are connected to the agent.

and don't waste your money using an agent to open a bank account. It is very easy to do yourself once you have your ducks in a row.
