OK. Thanks for your reply.

Hi all. Has anyone used the Thai Visa Agent service in order to obtain a Retirement visa? I have been in contact with a person named 'Grace', and recently informed me that the fee for changing from a Thai Wife visa to a Retirement visa is now Bht. 27,000! Only a few weeks ago she quoted me a figure of Bht.20,000 ! So, has anyone actually been to the Thai Visa offices in BKK and met this person in the flesh? I'm slightly concerned... I plan on visiting them on 8/Jan/24.

So, I guess that by being 'locked in' one is tied to the agent forever, is that right? What about leaving the country for a while and coming back in again on a new Thai Wife visa?

I dont have 800K in the bank and my wife has tried contacting Korat Imm. Office directly with no success.

I am 1-month away from renewing my Thai Wife visa and thinking of moving to a Retirement visa using an agent. I've been in touch with 'Thai Visa' and they informed me that they provide this service for a fee of Bht. 20,000. Has anyone had experience of doing this procedure with them? If so, can they be trusted? I live in Nakorn Ratchasima and would need to visit them at their office in Bangkok in order to chat with them face-to-face.

Nakorn Ratchasima Immigration Office. Many thanks for your very well-explained response.

Apart from the 800K in the bank, what else is needed?

Great! Can you tell me exactly what is involved in changing to a Retirement Visa?

Due to my Thai wife's ill health, I am considering changing my current Non-O 'Thai Wife' visa into a Full Retirement visa. I currently live in Thailand and I have a renewable 1-year 'Thai Wife' visa.

Many thanks, Starky, for the link to 'BongParty.com'. You saved me time and effort searching the web! I got my order in!!!

Hi guys. Can anyone provide me a link to any Thai website that sells glass 'Bongs' for smoking cannabis? Much appreciated!
