Hello- 

 

I  am a longtime teacher in northern Thailand wishing to convert to a retirement visa.  I have limited savings.  Could you please recommend a reliable and economical agency?  If posting agency names is not allowed, please PM me.  Thank you very much for your help.

Best to indicate immigration office or more specific location. 

Grace at thai visa centre  

wherever u are
BUT if ur in Pattaya, there's better, cheaper ones 

Thank you very much, DrJack54 and zzzzz.  The closest immigration office is in Phitsanulok. I live in Phitsanulok Province.

Personally not familiar with any agents located in Phitsanulok that could assist.

You may need to consider agents located in Bangkok, Pattaya if you cannot meet the financial requirements.

Thank you.  I am open to working with an agency anywhere, since it will probably be over the internet anyway.  What I'm looking for is specific recommendations.  I don't know who to contact.  I am working with limited savings.  Thank you again.

In both Bangkok and Pattaya there are many agents. 

A well known established one in Bangkok is Thai Visa Center 

A popular one in Pattaya is Maneerat 

Just about all agents have web sites 

All use phone, Line, Whatsapp for inquiries.

Bangkok agents more expensive than Pattaya however Bangkok perhaps more convenient for you.

Thanks, DrJack54!

Oh, also any agencies that I should avoid.  :- o  

Thank you.

Thanks, why is this, please? At some point the agency physically goes to the immigration office?  I need to go to the agency physically?

That varies with agents.

At this point you are best to discuss with various agents.

Sorry if I say that but it's absurd that some foreigners living in a much cheaper country than USA or Europe have limited savings
