Visa Agent in Chiang Mai

[acepredator]

Hello. I missed my chance to book an appointment online for the renewal of my retirement visa. As a result, I will have to use a visa agent. I can no longer arrive at Immigration at 05.30 in the morning and wait all day to get a new stamp in my passport. An agent I spoke to many years ago wanted my to leave my passport with her for two days, which I was unwilling to do. The prospect of not possessing my passport for any period of time terrifies me due to the huge hassle I went through last year to get a new passport. As careful as the visa agent may be, the possibility of losing my passport still exists, which would mean I would have to go through the arduous process of getting a new passport after having my current one for such a short period of time. Can anybody recommend an honest, reputable visa agent located in Chiang Mai who can assist me in getting my visa renewed without having to leave my passport in his or her possession for any length of time? Cost is not really an issue in that I would be doing this only once per year, and maybe next year I will be more successful booking an appointment online and wouldn't need the agent. Thanks in advance for any information any readers can provide.

You cannot renew a visa, you mean extend your permission to stay with retirement as the reason. Are you saying the current extension has ran out and you are on overstay, If not why can't you book an appointment?

No, I am not on overstay. My visa expires on November 4th. I should have said that I want to extend my permission to stay with retirement as the reason. It was just a matter of not using the correct language. The reason I could not book an appointment is that the Immigration website showed that all the slots on the day I tried to book were taken. I went there exactly at midnight, so that could not have been the case. There seems to be a problem with the website, in that all the slots on every day are shown to be taken. This was not the case in years past, when I was always able to book a time slot by selecting the one I wanted at exactly midnight.
