He can use agent to obtain non O from visa exempt or tourist visa entry. Agent can also open bank account if he does not have one. Realize you specifically mentioned agent local and not Pattaya however I suggest you have better service from good agents in Pattaya. You mentioned Aust... If your friend is Oz he could obtain a non O retirement eVisa while in Australia and have a head start on the process. @Pattaya57 (think) recently did this and could advise on process time etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The process time for eVisa in Oz is quick. Entering Thailand with a non O would provide a 90 day permit and remove any time pressure. Yes the visa exempt entry will work also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenCrew Posted Friday at 11:00 AM Share Posted Friday at 11:00 AM Out of curiosity, I'm sure there are quite a few expats who live outside Chon Buri but use Pattaya agents to help with the funding for an 'O' visa. Given that their visa would most probably be stamped 'Chon Buri', how would the person go about obtaining a residency certificate for a driving license for example, now that the UK, US, and AUS embassies have stopped dealing with them? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsiaTraveler1234 Posted Friday at 04:38 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:38 PM In Pattaya you can try NB Service. I've used them successfully for a lot of different services here in Thailand.

If that was the case, the person could go to eg: Chantaburi province to renew their 90 day report, but that is not possible with a Chon Buri visa stamp, so why would a residency cert be any different?

Most could get a certificate of residence for you with your real address on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An agent that has contacts within Chon Buri would not be able to turn up at Chantaburi immigration for a residency cert for their client who has a Chon Buri visa stamp. A Chon Buri visa stamp = a Chon Buri address = a Chon Buri residency cert. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Chon Buri visa stamp = a Chon Buri address = a Chon Buri residency cert. Didn't say anywhere that the agent would show up at Chanthaburi immigrations for a certificate of residence The agent would use chonburi to get the certificate of residence BUT many times they can get it with your REAL address (not the b/s chonburi one they used for the extension) How do I know this? A friend in bangkok has an extension from an agent out of an immigration office in Nakhon Nowhere, he needed to get a certificate of residence to renew his d/l, he went to the agent, gave his real bangkok address, they got a hold of the office in Nakhon Nowhere and had a certificate of residence issued with his bangkok address on it 😮 SO I will respectfully disagree with your comment 🙂 Your mileage may vary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyExpat57 Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago Two weeks ago I asked the Chanthaburi immigration officer if they ever allowed agents. They said they never see any agents, so no, there aren't any agents in Chanthaburi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouatchee Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago reading your posts @Olmate is painful at best. maybe edit in chatgpt before posting cryptic at best there are no agents for chantaburi or maptaphut aka rayong immigration. i desperately tried to find some before. the only way to get "help" aka corrupted agents here is to know someone on the inside.
