Is it worth it to hire an agent for a retirement visa in Thailand, or can I do it myself?

Russell ***********

@Harry *******

no, only if you apply for a Non OA … the Retirement is easy, 4 things, passport page, a selfie ( i scanned a passport photo that they do not accept ), UK bank statement showing excess £18k, & Utility bill showing your address … it was back in 5 working days

@Harry *******

it really is no problem, people only have problems for instance when they don't update their telephone number with the bank, move to a different Province after paying an agent, not having £18k to their name ...

just do it yourself, it's very straight forward ... using an agent is expensive, not always legal & you're stuck with them the following year
