ORIGINAL POSTER

Good day everyone. I hope someone here can help me. I moved to Thailand with my 2 kids. I work for a company here so I have my non b visa and work permit now and the agency is processing my 1 year visa. However the agent asking me 24000 thb per kid for Non-o transfer + visa extension for 1 year, so for 2 kids 48000 thb. It's a big amount and besed on my research in Google it should be much lesser. Any advice or help is very appreciated. Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user seeks advice on the high costs of extending their children's Non-O visas in Thailand through an agency, which is charging 24,000 THB per child. Several commenters suggest alternatives, expressing that using an agency is unnecessary and encourage the user to explore DIY options or check with their employer for assistance. It's also noted that children under 14 might not need a visa right away, which raises questions about the necessity of the extension.

Talk to your company about the visa issue. They are partly responsible for the documents you need

No need to waste money on an agent. If you must, then find a friend who can do this a lot cheaper for you.

How old are your kids? Isn’t there a rule that says 15 and under are not subject to visa enforcement rules so they can stay as long as they want in thailand without a proper visa?

my 9 and 11 year olds enter on visa exempt and overstay years at a time. They second check me at immigration leaving, reminding me that they are overstay and it would be better if they got proper visas, but that there's no penalty. I say ok. And we do it all over again the next time we go abroad to visit family. I can confirm that it's never caused a problem.

If you want it to be cheaper do it yourself.
