Best Agency to Renew OA Visa

[richsilver]

Now that VIP Visa is no longer operating, I am looking for another agency to help renew my OA retirement visa. I would like some recommendations please. I have no interest in doing it myself, so please refrain from suggesting that.

I guess you mean extension on the visa, a new one would be obtained outside Thailand. 

If you have all the requirements, money on deposit, insurance etc, most Visa offices similar service, like Meaneerat on Soi 13.2, One Stop, soi 6, Key Visa near BigC South, I am sure other names will come up.

As above, you don't renew an OA visa, you get an extension on your stay in Thailand for another 12 months. A lot of the agents are having trouble with the bank accounts at the moment so you may have to shop around if you don't have an established account. Also, if your original visa is an OA, any extension will be subject to the original insurance requirement, and agents wont be able to help with that.

Otherwise any of the agents mentioned above will be able to help.

I have used Cambodian travel on Soi Buhkoa. They have always been real good to me All you need is your passport & 13800 Baht for the year you don't need to do anything but go to immigration & snap a picture & go to the bank for about 1/2 an hour maybe an hour pending on how many in the cue qt the bank.  Even a slight overstay 200 baht & solved.

Friend of mine is on an OA & he pays an additional 2,500 for “Assistance” with the Health Insurance requirements.  
 

OP as others have recommended, Maneerat would be a good agent to ask.
