Retirement Visa

[Sealcat]

Hello all.... a farung friend told me that as an alternative to having 800,000+ bht in the bank for a minimum 3 months before renewing retirement visa each year, there is now a service where a 20,000 bht fee can be paid as an alternative. If so, does this require a "broker" to guarantee the money to immigration for that 3 month period? Hope you can help

There are lawyers/agencies that do this. A better deal exists but I can't say here. PM me and I'll give you the details.

'Service' is the wrong word. Bribe would be more appropriate.

Oh how cynical. No corruption in Thailand is there.

Lawyers do this?

Ones to avoid I think.

I think most of them. Every lawyer I've come into contact does.
