How to Make a Thai Visa on Your Own

You can get a Thai visa without paying an agent. Most applications from abroad now go through the online e-Visa website, and extensions happen at a Thai immigration office, where the right paperwork does most of the work.

Visa matters seem to be a complicated issue for many people.

When you search on the internet, many people say that it’s better to hire an agent or a lawyer to process your visa.

Is it necessary? Is it possible to do it on your own? And how?

In this article, we are going to guide you through what you need to do to apply for a visa on your own based on our decade of experience making visas for our employees and their families in Thailand.
