I corrected it to 100b on 20 occasions. You don't care about 100b here or there you said.

So if you do that 20 times it comes up to 2000b right?

Good for you you use BKK. Not everybody lives in BKK

@Steve *******

Yes either paying 2000b or joining queues at immigration for a couple of hours. Works out same as you not worrying about losing 100b on 20 different occasions😆

@Steve *******

Not retirement extention of course. But it will give you a 30 day extention.🙈

@Steve *******

If you are such in a good position and don't worry about a couple of hundred baths here or there...

Then I really don't understand how you cannot understandd people paying 2000b to an agent fot not having to go trough a day of immigration hassle🤷‍♂️

@Steve *******

Any transaction you make online is not as good as withdrawing cash from the home bank bring it to Thailand and change it at the small exchange cabines.

You will lose an any online transaction. Wise or whatever. I am not so impressed with the fees of wise anyway

I have an account there🤷‍♂️😉

@Steve *******

Obviously. But considering the money needs to be wired in the account as proof it came from abroad. Cannot just bring cash from back home and get a good rate at the exchange cabines. The trasaction fee plus bad converting rates from the bank will easily make it to 500$

500$ is not all that far away from 28kb🤷‍♂️

Unless immigration accepts bank slip withdrawing cash abroad and receits from the exchange cabines. I wonder if they would

@Steve *******

And having 800k in a thai bank you forget about that😆

@Steve *******

That's a normal price for retirement visa. It is for 1 year

@Steve *******

Idk where you get 20k from now.

Immigration it Jomtien it is certainly more than 1 hour. And you need to join queue just to get a number.

So paying 2100b for the service is not extremely bad for avoiding all the hassle🤷‍♂️

@Steve *******

The one hour at immigration is not necessary correct.

More like 5 hours or more in Jomtien.

So depends how much one is willing to pay for avoiding standing in queues for hours🤷‍♂️
