Should I do a DIY Non-O visa application for my kids in Savannaket or use an agency?

Anyone had done a DIY visa in Savannaket? I will apply a Non-O visa for my kids (parents with working permit). Will it be troublesome to do a DIY or better use an agency? Agency is charging around 10,000 Thb /person (ASEAN, transportation + hotel with meals + visa fee included)? Is the price reasonable enough than going thru the hassle of immigration?

Thanks for your input..

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses the choice between applying for a Non-O visa for children through an agency or DIY in Savannaket. Comments suggest that handling the visa application personally may be more beneficial, as it avoids dependency on agents and potentially saves money. Users also pointed out that if the agency's fee includes comprehensive service, doing it yourself might still be cheaper.

If the 10K per person really includes all that, you couldn't do it cheaper yourself.

Better do yourself or you will be locked into the agent every year

Just go to immigration and ask their requirements

How old are your "kids" as they cannot get fined or banned for overstay under certain ages?
