Are there visa agents in Thailand that can help me get a 60-day tourist e-visa approved in under 5 days?

Wylie *******

Why? There is absolutely no advantage to getting the tourist visa before you come. It'll just cost you more.

Is the 60-day visa exemption still valid for American tourists in Thailand?

Wylie *******

Its called visa exempt, meaning you enter without a visa. Visa on arrival is only for certain counties and they pay 2000 baht on arrival to get a visa. To answer you question though, yes US citizens still recieve 60 days visa exempt when they arrive. There are no plans for that to change that I am aware of.

Can I apply for a DTV e-visa in Vietnam instead of returning to the USA?

Wylie *******

As long as it was above 800k for 3 months after you applied and above 400k the rest of the year and then back to 800k 2 months prior to applying again you should be OK.

Why has Western Union become cheaper than Wise for transferring money to Thailand?

Wylie *******

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

but you can select options that show up at your bank as international transfers. Does that still come from a Thai bank? I haven't looked that closely, all I know is it doesn't change the fee at all.

Is it worth getting an agent to manage my Thai visa requirements if I have 800,000 Baht but don't want to tie it up in a bank?

Wylie *******

I do not. I believe the money needs to be easily accessible so cannot be in an investment account. So keeping your money invested vs sitting in a bank here doing nothing seems to be worth it based on what I see people saying an agent costs.

Wylie *******

You'll tie up 400k for the full 12 months and the other 400k for 5 months. At a conservative 6% interest that works out to 34,000 baht. If you can find an agent for less than that or earn more than that it would be worth it.

What should I do if the bank claims my Non-O retirement visa is a tourist visa?

Wylie *******

it was pretty hard to look at the stamp at the time of my comment considering it was not in the original post. He only added the photo after myself and others asked about it.
