What are some reputable companies that assist with Thai visa processing at reasonable prices for expats?

Richard ******

The reason it's super complicated and the reason there are so many hoops to jump through is because they are in league with these agencies. Why else would they pay huge sums to get these jobs in immigration! The whole system is built around corruption. TIT
