That is just a post by "Steve n" and could just as easily have been written by you!

Where are the so-called formal statements from the actual Thai CIB?

Not much confusion in the wording....

But still confusion as NO official source of the so-called rumour!

You're right but it wasn't written by me.

And just coincidence that their 14K retirement package verbiage was changed.

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.

When you get a hook-up every time you drop a bait back, why head for the barn?

SO WHAT?

Companies change advert s all the time. Your thoughts and assumptions are NOT proof of wrongdoing

I suggest that you give this wild goose chase of yours a rest until you come up with proof!

This is all the proof necessary:

Consumer Protection against Advertising

Section 22.

The following statements shall be regarded as those which are unfair to consumers or

may cause adverse effect to the society as a whole:

(3)Statement which is directly or indirectly encouraging the commission of an unlawful

or immoral act, or which adversely affects the national culture;

And telling expat that part of their prior 14K would go to bribe an IMM official is illegal.

And you folks want to go with the flow that is up 2 U.

Maybe you just stick to the VISA forum where (apologies to Ben Franklin)

The only sure things in life are Death, Taxes, and THAI VISA AGENTS.

Proof of WHAT?

What is it with you? Why do you never have to prove any of the things you say, yet you howl at everyone else.

What is it you want proof of?

What do you want proof?

Are you planning to make a decision based on this information?

Proof of what you have disagreed with above:

Under Thai law you cannot advertise to consumers an illegal service which paying money to an IMM officer to waive your 800K baht certainly is.

What service are they offering in the advert that is illegal?

I have no decision to make. I want proof from a reliable source what law is being broken and proof that it is being broken!

Why do you want proof that laws are being broken if it is not going to affect your decision?

Do you believe that bribing government officers is legal?

Do you think falsifying bank records is legal?

Do you think contracting someone to bribe government officers and falsify bank records on your behalf is legal?

That's just it. The no-800K-baht-in-the bank ISN'T referenced in the ad. That is all on hush-hush very QT. All that is mentioned is that there is a service charge even though, in these forums, not having to put 800K baht in a Thai bank for a retirement extension is the #1 reason for using ANY agent.
