Why don't you message them and ask or better yet go see them in Pattaya. I've been there, nice people they are. I'm sure they won't mind answering your questions.

That's OK. They've already said enough on their website.

So what!

Companies change adverts so that people will reread them!

What is sinister about that?

Why don't you just give up and let the agency users alone!

Companies change their ads for 2 reasons:

  1. Voluntarily either at the suggestion of marketing or legal department, or

  2. Some legal authority with jurisdiction orders them to do so.

And usually when you see some disclaimer in SMALL PRINT it is 2.

Once again 11 pages of this absolute rubbish because of one disturbed individual who wants to debate why an advert was changed (although the total amount stayed the same)..Ludicrous.🤕

The ad was changed so that no one would have reason to think that -- beyond the 1900 baht noted -- any of the remaining of the 14K baht funds were in any way routed to IMM as a bribe which could put the potential agency customer in violation of 144 section Thai penal code on offering a bribe to an official.

Scotty I was initially concerned about Jerry's obsession (VADS Visa Agent <removed>???) with this topic. But look on the bright side. At least he's not pushing vaccine or Epstein conspiracy theories.

It isn't any syndrome. I've been a legal wonk going on 50 years starting in the US oil & gas exploration industry when you actually had to physically go into a law library to do any legal search.

And someone this topic kinda asked where do I get all this stuff? It's all out there if you know how to look.

Since I have been deemed a disturbed individual, I just want to let you know that, even though taken down by TripAdvisor, it wasn't me placed this notice 09 SEP 2026.

Thailand's Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) and the Immigration Bureau have issued official warnings explicitly identifying the Thai Visa Centre as an illegitimate operation involved in illegal visa sales, document forgery, and deceptive online practices.

Yes but the link was apparently up long enough for the search engines to find it before it was taken down..

And it wasn't by me.

Sorry I miss read the bit where you said it had been taken down. I thought you meant the advert, not the article!

Well since it wasn't me who put up that message on high-visibility TripAdvisor, so it seems, at a minimum, there is another 'disturbed individual' out there.

What's the monthly salary for the top 3 or 4 commanding officers in every Immigration office that sign off on visa stamps ? Perhaps a very large raise would enhance the crackdown and end Agent brownbag businesses,

I have found an un-taken down version to the above. It also states:

16 SEP 2026-- CIB law enforcement officials have formally labeled the platform a fake company and scam operation designed to exploit foreign nationals, tourists, and long-term residents through deceptive digital schemes and unauthorized immigration services.

Law enforcement officials reiterate that no private company holds special privileges, exclusive partnerships, or authorized shortcuts within the Thai immigration system.
