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🤷‍♂️

@Steve *******

I am pretty helpless and especually lazy. I will use an agent.

But I would not in my wildest dreams pay 15k for 30 days extention.

The other examples you mentioned I believe.75k for a volunteer visa is not so much as it is for a whole year. So 75:12=6.25k call it 6k a month🤷‍♂️

50k for retirement visa is little bit high yes but I certainly believe people will pay.

But paying 15k for 1 month...

believe you me I shake my head in disbelief too😆

@Steve *******

I did many in my life. But I am sure you confuse something here.

15k for a 30 day extention I don't belive it exists.

Maybe 1 crazy agent in whole Thailand charges this yes😃

@Steve *******

Yes covid was different. And covid extention gave you 60 days.

So then it was 5000b for 30 days.

But 15k for 30 days nobody would be stupid enough to pay

@Steve *******

you mean 15k for 1 year visa?

They talk about only 1 extention 30 days here.

So 15k for an extention for 30 days is robbery.

Nobody would pay that

@Steve *******

15k for an extention? I the most expensive agent I found wanted 6000b

Scooter rentals often only have a the mandatory insurance.

Will only cover up to 30k b

And only for injured persons.

No damage on cars or other scooters covered.

So basically renting a scooter in Thailand is driving with no insurance.
