- if you do it yourself get there mega early. I made an appointment but it was useless. You will queue for a long time and you will be sent from one desk to another and queue again. If you have plenty of time and patience you can save 2k baht. I done most of the work and spent most of the day then got given a day to return for the stamp several days later. I couldn’t wait as had travel plans. I paid the agent and collected passport with stamp next day. It’s difficult on purpose 🤷‍♂️

- Also consider taking the agent option on site at immigration. It is shall we say “more convenient” to use them. It costs almost 4k including the extension fee but you get the extension same day or next day latest.

I was trying to do myself but had to jump through hoops. It was going to take almost a week to get the final stage. (Maybe made difficult on purpose 🤷‍♂️)

- I disagree. The rate / cost is cheaper for me with revolut. I also have wise with card.

I’m only going by my own experiences. I have also used western union. Just gives me various options to transfer into my Thai account.
