problemfarang Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) my agency do everything really good and cheap. I suggested to many people here and they are all happy. Bur you need to come here first so she can help. I strongly suggest you not to use thaivisa agency. They will charge you like crazy amount. Yes, many people are happy with their service so it has to be good, but if you will get what you want for the half price of them... well.. no need to make more comments. If its your first time my agency will charge you max 30K. from second time its max 18K. No blah blah, no game, no BS Like i said using for 2 years. No headache nothing. And people i suggested are also really happy. Also its working with really big people.. and i mean it. so there is no risk. If you want more info message me.

EVENKEEL Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Getting info on a good agent (good price) comes from conversation with friends. Simply because these agents sometimes provides services for guys without needed funds in the bank I'd be hesitant to give a stranger contact details. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First up he bagged a visa company then added this..... "Yes, many people are happy with their service so it has to be good," Then stated this .. "If its your first time my agency will charge you max 30K. from second time its max 18K" Which is fine however numerous posts throughout the 5 pages pointing out 25k for the non O with Extension and ~ 15k for extension only Also stated this in relation to agent he mentioned...... "but if you will get what you want for the half price of them..." Meaning that company he canned charges 60k then ongoing 30k ... nup Edited November 7, 2021 by DrJack54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I directly answered the OP's clear question. But thank you for proving me right about thaivisa agency. Because they chrage you 35K whatever your situation is. Also i remember they were posting on this forum like it will be higher after few months. But you said there are agencies still doing it for 15K.. thanks Edited November 7, 2021 by problemfarang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your agent sounds more expensive than the one you claim charges a crazy amount. I was quoted 16k, but as it would have clearly been illegal as obtained from a province I do not live in I decided against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the guys with the fake stamps were let off by the then Thai Authority. There was another one only about 2 years ago. Well known agent in BKK. Their office was raided. "Fake stamps" and other contraband were discovered. They appeared to be dead to rights. Many had used them and were shaking in their boots. Were all their stamps dodgy? Deportation for all? Then a few days later, oh, it was all a "misunderstanding". Apparently the appropriate fat envelopes had changed hands. The agent is still in business.

zugzug123 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 the visa agent I have been using charges exorbitant amounts now. If anybody can recommend me via PM a good agent in or near bangkok, that would be much appreciated.

As for extension volunteering a well known agent telling me currently not possible. KeyVisa said that they are. They use messenger and LINE. You can discuss your options. Personally as already mentioned if married obtain an extension based on that. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moot point - people using agents do not have the money in the bank to sit at an immigration desk, that's why they use them. You could argue that using an agent for 32 years, enjoying your money and not risking losing your 800,000 in your bank account is equally beneficial !
