Visa agents who can do extension on non o marriage

[mxyzptlk]

According to what I heard the Thai GVT is cracking down on Foreigners paying Thais to marry so they can work in Thailand so an immigration team coming the home is now the norm.

OK. I didn't know that. Out of interest, where did you hear that?

Applying for the extension in person accompanied by your wife is a requirement of the process and as such any circumvention of this process would not be legal IN MY OPINION.......

But TIT. 

That being said I have every intension of personally doing all the paperwork and meeting the requirements.  Plus I can then post a "Marriage Extension for Dummies" thread.   

Anyway, I doubt any visa agent would provide that service for $100, as I mentioned a Bangkok Agent offered to do the Retirement visa as a package deal for just over 70,000 baht.  I incredulously asked if he meant 7000 baht, nope, it was 70,000.   


On another thread there was talk of guys having their 90 report done by others.  Wow, I would not trust that.  I look at the 90 day report as a minor inconvience.

Keith it is idiots like yourself offering $100 that fcuk things up for everyone else

The village simpleton is heard from with his usual helpless information. 

So Paul, you would not pay 100 quid to avoid multiple trips to KCI in a month’s time and having a team of immigration agents come to your village to investigate you?   Now that is totally stupid. 

As I stated, a Brit here changed from a Retirement to a Marriage extension this past July/August.  He had to make at least 2 trips to KCI, one to submit the paperwork and the 2nd to get the extension stamp.  That was after a team of 4 immigration agents from Korat came to his home and questioned him and his neighbors.  I would like to avoid that hassle, and would gladly pay $100 considering it cheap.

Fortunately the Dollar is not on par with the Great British Pound.

$100 would indeed be cheap, compared to a hundred Quid!

I would still consider $168 cheap.

i was just looking for a quick and easy alternative to simplify matters and if this type of service was available (as it is for retirement ) i would be prepared to pay a similar fee
I also did get a visit from immigration at home on my first application but i believe it is just for your first application and after they are satisfied with your marriage they will leave you alone

I agree.

Generally speaking, visa agents will only offer a service for extensions based on retirement. That is because they can be done in a day and do not require approval from Bangkok.
