    Again so wrong. Ongoing extensions based on retirement would be approx 15k baht. Also you state..... "A compliant IO is bribed to look the other way, and in any case can always fall back on the official excuse of exercising discretion" You are spitting out bar stool chat. Clearly do not understand the options.
  2. DrJack54
    Ridiculous. Most agents offer various "levels of service". That can be hand holding document organization through to obtaining (for example) extensions based on retirement without satisfying the financials. You mention deportation... Please provide link to ONE using reputable agent.
  3. DrJack54
    Clearly advertised. Even by a sponsor of AseanNow. From another post of yours above. "Some are, some are not. Yes, if you actually go to immigration, chances are it's legal. If you don't have to go in person, it's highly illegal and you could be jailed, unlikely but you never know"..... This is seriously Dreamworld. Post link to someone jailed using reputable agent.
  4. DrJack54
    Don't do it.
  5. DrJack54
    I was wondering if this could be just one post where you did not mention Thai citizenship. But alas not to be. Your post regarding agents is very naive.
  6. DrJack54
    What bit didn't you understand. I stated ...... "Think you will find it is an "optional extra" " Of course it depends on the agent along with client. Same as reentry permit etc
  7. DrJack54
    Pretty succinct summary. Perhaps one slightly more culpable.
  8. DrJack54
    So how does that work for the MANY that do not live "relatively near" ......geez.
  9. DrJack54
    Which agent and which immigration office.
  10. DrJack54
    Have you done this?
  11. DrJack54
    One night. First up ask if hotel can/will do file the TM30. Also provide you with screenshot. It's just a one line strip.
  12. DrJack54
    Everytime advice is given to folk asking about agents is... Rule #1 ...Always deal with a well know agent. Two random examples would be ThaivisaCenter in Bangkok. Maneerat in Pattaya etc. Many others.
  13. DrJack54
    Would not change things. Your earlier post stating that you might revisit idea of border runs etc. Not a long term solution. Be aware that MANY folk living long term in Thailand use agents. Don't listen to the negative posts about this option. They have axe to grind. For the record I don't use an agent however as father time catches up it is firmly on my radar.
  14. DrJack54
    No worries. If you are staying at a hotel and they have filed a TM30 they can provide you with screenshot of the report.
  15. DrJack54
    If the agent is doing the 90 reports they won't do a change of address. The issue with the reports not being done where you live can have issues for such things as obtaining a TDL. Discuss with the agent that you use.

    Visa fees (+ 2000 baht in case of something inexpected happening) The fee for extension is 1900baht. 2. Print out TM7 prior or fill in form at immigration...Up to you. 3. TM6 not required. 4. Yes 5. You should provide a TM30 6. No exit flight required
  17. DrJack54
    OP, added note to the sound advice already given. When you register there is a temporary password given in email. Reset that to one more suitable.
  18. DrJack54
    Almost certainly the stamps will be obtained up country. It would be possible to do a change of address (TM30) to where you are living.
  19. DrJack54
    Think you will find it is an "optional extra" Along with reentry permit and bank account
  20. DrJack54
    You may wish to discuss 90 day reporting with the agent..
  21. DrJack54
    Complete nonsense. What is important is to use a well know company. From the OP...... "I am planning to go and see a well known agent ....."
  22. DrJack54
    The first hit if using agent will be approx 30k which is for the non O and extention. Every year from then will be approx 15k per extension. Obviously you require a reentry permit.
  23. DrJack54
    As others have pointed out. You go to immigration to have stamps and visa info transfered. There is no fee. You can wait till the day you are applying for extension and have it done same visit.
  24. DrJack54
    Not brilliant at all. In fact if you read every post in the thread ...the op has realized his personal experience counts for very little. There currently is another thread outlining the issue. The OP is serial poster on this topic. Due to so many counter posts in this thread hopefully will cease bad advice.

    Trying to help a friend from Oz. I have advice regarding dentists in Thailand however he wishes to have the work done in Vietnam. I have suggested district 1 however do not have any personal recommendations for dentists. He requires full set of crowns etc. 32yr old. TIA.
