    I definitely would use a visa agent. I am using one just to do a 30 day tourist extension. It is just too complicated and time consuming to do on my own. If I do decide to live here I will give Rhys a call. Great and informative video, thank you, Tony.

    Rhys is great to work with! I used his service Assist back when we lived in CM for my marriage based visa one year because the queue system was so hard. I have to say it was so impressive. Having done it myself the previous 4 years then when I used his service it made my life so much easier it was well worth the fee ! Highly recommend 👍

    Great info Tony. Thanks for taking the effort and bringing in the team for all the info. Visa system in Thai is crazy but one interesting thing that I came across which is not very expensive is Employer of Record (EOR).
    This is done by special companies that give you a work permit(mostly for remote working foreigners in IT) and after you complete the 3 years in Thailand with that you can easily get a PR. Most of these companies charge a monthly flat fee like Thai Assist for handling the paperwork for all this(taxes, reporting and other stuff) but you can get a work permit without actually hunting or getting jobs there if you have some remote job and that can be extended for 3 years and finally get a PR to stay as much as we want. Not an option for retirees but for people who are not 50 and want to settle long term in Thailand.

    Can you guys confirm that Thai bank accounts can no longer be opened with a tourist visa?
    This means the "old route" of tourist visa-open bank account-obtain 90-day retirement visa (O) visa-extend to one year visa and then renew annually is now closed. Now a Non-Immigrant Visa (retirement) has to be obtained in your home country to enable a bank account to be opened in Thailand. In short the "old route' allowed you to go to Thailand and then transfer funds to the Thai bank account. Now the financial requirements, proof of 65,000 baht income per month or 800,000 baht in bank account for at least two months, have to be in force at time of applying for the Non-Immigrant O in home country.....money up front - not later when in Thailand as before.

Anyway I've notified aus embassy and thai embassy in aus so people dont get their holidays ruined like mine and correct information is posted on websites. I find most problems are simply due to poor communication between agencies. The end result is the poor traveller cops the problem.
