thanks for the feedback. I just thought it might be less stressful. Seems like there’s a lot of hoops to go through now.

wow ok. I’ve had so many people say positive things about both agencies. They also include the Thai Pass, quarantine accomm, transport, PCR tests, etc as part of their packages. I just thought it may be easier and less stress. I am unvaccinated, so it makes things a bit more difficult. Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.

that’s great! I love BKK.

I want to stay much longer than 90 days. I’d like to try Thailand for 1 whole year. Just trying to work out the best way to do it.

@Charles *******

ah ok. That makes sense. Are you still in Thailand now? I’m weighing up whether to go for the STV visa or the TR 60-day with the 30-day extension.

thanks Charles. Why didn’t you use the full 9 months of the STV visa before leaving and coming back in on the other visa? How long were you away between visa’s?

OO Edward thanks Edward. What about after the 2 extensions? I understand it’s a 90-day visa that can be extended twice (9 months total) but can you then switch to another visa after that? Or do you have to leave the country?
