 It is a common practice accepted by Immigration offices. I’ve never used an agent and don’t recommend it

 If you deposit your own money with the help of an agent then you are not stuck. If the agent fronts the money for you then it can be a problem.

 My advice was to get the non O outside Thailand before you arrive in Thailand.

If you don’t already have a Thai bank account then you are going to have to apply for your O visa outside Thailand. That’s your first bit of stress.

Will my short trips to Thailand as a Canadian passport holder still be allowed with the new visa exemption rules?
Marty *********
If you are only staying a week every couple of months then you should be OK with visa exemptions. If the number of days in Thailand exceeds 150 days or maybe 180 days in a year or you are doing back to back border runs then you will be questioned.

Should I opt for a visa exemption or a METV for my trip to Thailand?
Marty *********
They are looking for patterns of travel and time in the country and if you spend time in your home country. I don't think anything will be reset on Jan 1. You might get in again but you would be much safer after February and getting a METV
