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.

Beware of using an agent for this circumstance.
Once you have used an agent in this way, you are "locked in".
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?

These agents bribe immigration officers.
If you don't have the 800k in the bank, offer the immigration directly, much less than 20k, probably 10k.
Of you do have the 800k, do it yourself.
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.

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.

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