genobkk Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I have had several friends ask me about visa Agents in Bangkok. Are there any agents besides Thai Visa Service? I know Pattaya has several that make it a breeze but Bangkok seems lacking. Some suggestions would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritTim Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 There are a few visa agents in Bangkok but, at the current time, none of them will actually process visas and extensions in Bangkok itself unless you meet all of the official requirements. They are unable to persuade the officials to use their discretion to be flexible over the requirements. Instead, they send the passports up country for processing at immigration offices where strict adherence to some of the normal requirements can be waived. If your interest is in a Bangkok agent who will take you to Chaengwattana immigration, ensure all the documents are perfect, arrange VIP queuing (no longer important with the appointment system) and generally hold your hand through the process, you might consider Asia Visa Consulting (https://www.facebook.com/asiavisaconsulting/).

buick Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 i know an agent in bkk. he works with the jomtien office. but the cost of the service is not what one might consider 'a bargain'. probably 25,000 or more and add extraif it involves getting the 90 day Non O plus 12 month extension. i've known him for 15 yrs, i do my extension on my own at CW, i told him i'd use his service if it was 10,000 but that wasn't enough. PM me if you want more details/contact info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the extensions you have been receiving require the officials to be flexible about financial proof, take a close look at your most recent extension, and look at where it was issued. Until around last October, processing such extensions was possible, but cost substantially more than if you were willing to have your passport sent up country for processing. Since October, all the agents report that they can only process extensions in Bangkok if you can meet all the conditions for the extension, with no need for flexibility on the part of the officials. On a point of information, almost all extensions handled by Bangkok agents have been sent up country for processing for the last several years. This was to allow them to offer as attractive a price as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that was not outlined in the OP. Granted most of the time the client wants assistance with the financials. Money in bank method. However sometimes it is taking care of documentation etc. In some cases folk meet the financials however due to mobility issues etc want the assistance of an agent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
