Friend used a visa "agent", for a medical visa but no hospital. Trouble? Anybody ever done this?

89 days of overstay, which would start on 27 september -> +- 26 oktober , +- 25 november,  +- 24 december  would be 500 baht cheaper and no need for scammy agency and not supporting active corruption

You conveniently ignore that someone who overstays for 89 days might be found on overstay during that time. Also, considering possible flight cancellations due to the pandemic, what if they fail to exit after 89 days?

 

Supporting corruption looks like a walk in the park in comparison, especially when you consider that it hardly makes a difference in a thoroughly corrupt country. ????

Interesting option. Will need to bear this one in mind.

As long as your friend got the stamp from immigration and not Grace, I mean Sara, he should be fine.

He didn't get the stamp at immigration, it was stamped for him at another immigration office and then mailed back to him

Suddenly the whole buffet of visa options available... Medical, Volunteer, Education...

 

I'dlike to wait for Volunteer success stories, but the time is ticking for Education option... Now this Medical, too.

so it takes 10-14 business days and costs 18-20k?

Yep that's what others say about Medical, but it's 3 months only... does it have extensions?

 

For the Volunteer thingy I'm trying to check more options (agencies), time is still OK (3-4 weeks processing).

 

ED also OK for me (I entered March, can do the winter), but deadline is tight, and I'm not into Thai language.

 

We have these 3 threads running now, good source of information, thanks everybody.
