    USA, Canada, AU, etc etc do not require an appointment at embassy to renew pp. Even UK that uses VFS ... you can use an agent. Of course all applications require current photo.
  2. DrJack54
    And what country would that be
  3. DrJack54
    Current thread on using agent for extension. Cost etc depends on location as does immigration office.
  4. DrJack54
    Doesn't make sense. I recently renewed my Oz pp while in Thailand. Oz pp has biometric.. I did it all via mail and online application. The existing pp was not sent with application.
  5. DrJack54
    Say what. For expats living in Thailand doing pp renewal while in UK is not an option. Hence suggestion of agent if not in home country
  6. DrJack54
    That is not available. In past threads of problem of being too frail etc has been asked if agent can do anything. Something that needs to be addressed IMO.
  7. DrJack54
    You apply for the eVisa after you have entered the country. To apply for eVisa for Thailand from eg Vientiane... You need to have entered Laos.
  8. DrJack54
    No.
  9. DrJack54
    CM accommodation.
  10. DrJack54
    I already answered it. Many things agents can do without any downside apart from fee. Passport renewal would be good example esp for those living outside of Bangkok and CM. Good eg is UK passport in particular.
  11. DrJack54
    Do you actually have a question. Agents are used for many things apart from 12 month extensions to avoid financial compliance. Some examples include Passport Renewal. Making TM47 reports. Obtaining 30 day extensions etc etc
  12. DrJack54
    Suggest prior to going to immigration to obtain the 30 day extension ask the staff at accommodation to make a TM30. Have them provide screenshot of the filing.
  13. DrJack54
    In the main the applicant attends immigration. The assistance of agent if you provide and maintain the financial compliance is referred to as hand holding. For extensions retirement the required docs are simple. I have not experienced the attitude from io that you have described.
  14. DrJack54
    No. As mentioned he can use various agents. He can open a BBL account by himself. Here is a chat with a Pattaya agent.
  15. DrJack54
    The 4.7k is for bank insurance policy if that agent was used. Indeed the guy may need to pay for the bank account. At his age it would be 4.7k
  16. DrJack54
    You can obtain Non O at most embassies/consulates. Current thread running of Non O e-Visa obtained in Vientiane. Sounds to good to be true. Extremely quick approval. One slight negative is you do not pay online. You pay at the consulate.
  17. DrJack54
    You should have a Non O marriage and subsequent extensions. You will need a multiple reentry permit. The issue would be the under consideration period if you are month on/off. Roster workers have similar problem. Are you over 50
  18. DrJack54
    You are referring to removal of limit of 2 per calendar year visa exempt via land. There is not limit via air. It is possible to have more than two visa exempt entries
  19. DrJack54
    You are missing the point. Read post from @treetops has an agent print out. In Pattaya agents prefer to work with particular bank.
  20. DrJack54
    No it won't. In any event the guy lives in agent city. Has plenty of options in Pattaya
  21. DrJack54
    From the OP.... "My pal has been living in pattaya for several years"
  22. DrJack54
    The OP has been given the very advice you posted. I didn't read "grumpy people" replies
  23. DrJack54
    So this happened at CW. I disregard this story.
  24. DrJack54
    Agent in Pattaya will prefer/insist on BBL and specific branch. To open an account is ~4700 Extension ~ 13k There are no hoops. Tell him to walk into an agent for first hand advice. Soi 13/2 agent is handy off beach Rd and bank nearby.
  25. DrJack54
    So all this for a sus antenna import.
