Just use your common sense from reading all the threads regarding use of agents for extensions from a non O-A or non O based on retirement. MOST (without out a doubt) are using agent to avoid financial requirements for money in bank method. Some folk simplydon't have the funds and others that just don't wish to tie up money in a Thai bank with next to no interest. Then there is much smaller group that just like the assistance of an agent even though they pass all the requirements. Had you on ignore from long time ago.

Purely so you can be familiar with ASEAN NOW....when you put someone on ignore their posts can be viewed. I never bother unless they quote me. As you did. Regards my posts that most agent assisted extensions based on retirement using money in the bank is to avoid actually having required funds in bank is obvious and a slam dunk. By comparison MUCH smaller number would just be for documentation assistance. In any event all off topic (as usual) Edited June 12, 2023 by DrJack54 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any event all off topic (as usual) How can a post be "off topic" when you made the unsubstantiated phrase in the first place and to which I responded? From your last two posts it is clear that your statement is only your opinion and not factual as you have failed to substantiate your comments with any data! It is for that reason that I suggest you use a less misleading phrase such as "the people who use agents fall into a number of categories etc! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsubstantiated in the same way that my claim would be unsubstantiated if I said most of the people using agents were men. Or the claim that most people would rather spend 1,900 and half a day then spend 25,000 and 1/4 day.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 It's all SPECULATION ! Unless you have been through it and then you are just one, you cannot possibly "know" anything as to what other Agents or individuals have or have not done. You can play maybe, what if , etc etc, all day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you did so your posts might have more credibility! Mainly because it's not some. It's most. I have contact with agents. Retirement extensions getting around financials is their bread and butter. Clearly you seem to have never contacted one. A reminder of the topic. This thread is specifically regarding extensions based on retirement.

Someones common sense and the obvious answer does not need statistics and links to official statistics authorised for distribution for anyone with an element of common-sense and intelligence to comprehend exactly what is happening. Your argument is this case is not only flawed, it's unrealistic, and somewhat stupid for simply being argumentative for arguments sake.

Moonlover Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 If one can meet the financial requirements, getting a retirement extension is a doddle. No need for agents at all. If one can't meet the financial requirements then they should go look elsewhere to retire, 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about it... A guy has been meeting the 'financial requirement' based on monthly income for years, then the exchange rate flutters and brings him below the threshold.... You expect him to move elsewhere ???.... Your comment presents the EQ of a house-brick !!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
