He really had no reason to lie, so I assume it must be possible when knowing how things work in Thailand. Interesting. I am not now in Thailand and mine has expired. I need to renew it so I can use it in the USA before I return to Thailand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problems I use an agent in Udon I live Korat and now using Pattaya, don’t worry agents got you covered 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't this look a bit steep? The agent fee probably would be more then. If you have expat friends running businesses with WP ask them to talk to their accountants, they may know reputable agents there if they exist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toscano Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I recommend having an agent , but be sure to have a well established agent . At a cost of up to Bt20,000 a good agent will take care of everything ,800k included . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main issue with that is 90 day reports. You can either do a TM30 or have agent do 90 day reports (added cost) Those agents that do that are on dodgy ground. In Pattaya an in Province extension is easily obtainable from the many agents from about 12k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not aware of one agent in for example Bangkok that obtains extension at CW. Think your confused with standard assistance from an agent where client has correct financials etc with agent assisted extensions where client does not have the financials Edited May 29, 2021 by DrJack54 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I use is 13k, signed for in Jomtien. Cambodia Travel on Soi Baukau is the same. Why would anyone want an extension out of province, it ties you to that agent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CM Dad Posted May 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2021 I began using an agent two years ago. I pay a total of 8,900 baht per year for my one-year extension and all four 90-day reports. Prior to using an agent, I did everything myself. Using an agent is much easier and stress-free. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be clear.....you have Thai bank account and maintain either money in bank or monthly income. The agent just does all the leg work etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
