Whatever an agent might tell you to persuade you, actually the agent fakes the required documents, and for a fee the immigration officer overlooks that these documents are fakes. If there should ever be a crackdown the IO will say that the foreigner submitted fake documents and that he didn't notice it. The agent will be nowhere to be found. eventually this scam will unravel, either intentionally or by circumstances not anticipated - when it does they'll be a tsunami of tears and wails.. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the fact that the system thrives on bribery, allegedly, doesn't make it any the less illegal. I'm not trying to be righteous on this subject but it might be better just to say that it is illegal but with an acceptable level of risk, for you. I wonder how many of these upstanding bribers would welcome the same scams in their country? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be good to have a 'safety net' too. Anyone can slip up on their calculations or have unexpected need for cash that wipes them out. Even your home Country bank can cause problems intercepting and destroying your renewed debit/credit cards because 'we don't send cards to Thailand'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been their customer since the 1960's too! when they asked me about my debit card destination (which I don't use here, have free global money transfers) I told them just to give me the updated info (expir. date) so I could continue with online banking (such as the transfers here). No problems so far. btw this is a CDN bank. Don't do any online banking from here, too many scam stories.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I have no special reasons (yet) that could merit 'discretion'. More recent retirement extensions have been obtained with the necessary funds in place. My IO was disappointed when I went that route as she had offered to provide same service for less than my agent charged. .
