I didn't realize the trust paid out less than 40K/mo, since it supported your embassy-letter, before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you get a multiple entry non-o visa in Savannakhet Laos based upon marriage. They do not require financial proof when you apply. The visa allows unlimited 90 day entries for a year from the date of issue. You can apply for a 60 day extension to visit your wife for each 90 day entry which means you would not need to border run for almost 5 months for a new entry. Not all that far from Phetchabun to a border run to a crossing in Loei to Laos for a new entry.

Scott424 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 OP, if you still want to consider using the agent, I would call them, perhaps they did not want to provide a lot of details in an email. Get clarity on everything you need to provide and how they will process your extension. If you are 10 hours away from the agent the biggest question to ask is which immigration office would they process the extension at, as that would be the office you would need to do 90 day reports and probably other immigration related activities. Best of luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the money in your bank account and let it seed or pay off the I.O. They do BOTH. Corruption is endemic in Thailand and will never change. It was this way 200 years ago and it will be that way 200 years from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
