since Chad, the owner of Thai Visa Centre, keeps pretending to be a Thai company and abusing Thai laws and lawyers trying to censor dozens of web pages from the internet under the guise of Thai anti-defamation law (lol) here’s a thread collecting various links and reviews of this criminal operation:

Chad has successfully removed some negative reviews from Google Maps by threatening former customers, but this customer has remained steadfast in refusing to delete their review after nearly being deported from Thailand because of Chad’s fake visas:

BE CAREFUL USING THAI VISA CENTRE AGENCY!

Fast forward I went back to my country I didn’t change my passport because in any case I’ll visit Thailand I’ll visit only for a month or two, 2 years passed by I went back to Thailand, at the immigration I was called out and surrounded by immigration talking about the stamp from this agency asked me thousands questions, called the couple of bosses why I hired this agency and registered me in an organization doesn’t exist., I was nervous, they said they won’t let me in the kingdom as what I did was illegal, I explained to them thoroughly what happened, I wasn’t aware of it and apologized, I told them I was only staying for a month or 2 exploring Asia with Fiancé and needed to leave the country to Cambodia luckily I already have the exit ticket to show them, after the looooong wait, explanations with them, signing papers, taking pictures of my passport, me sweating, them discussing they finally let me in.

They told me there are lots of tourists like me that they didn’t get through because of this agencies.
Surely this was traumatizing for me.
Very inconvenient. So if you read this upto here, learn it from me do yourself a favor. They could save you for now but will trouble you later. I really regretted my decision on getting my visa processes here.

if Richard Barrow, THE RICHARD BARROW, says to avoid Thai Visa Centre, you better listen

[Linda]

the Barrow thread is a goldmine, you see this email Chad sent to customers trying to pretend he did nothing wrong lmao… dude would be in U.S. prison for a decade if he pulled that shit stateside.

but this guy’s comment is sorta true

“Flemming Rønnow
It’s sad. They say good guys in and bad guys out. But if you do things the right way, its almost impossible.
Why use an agent, immigration need the same documents, no matter what?
I know a lot of people have paid under the table, because the right way is just too complicated.”

[Douglas]

These comments are also revealing:

“Sebastian Johansson
What’s interesting is that these people had access to information in the immigrations database. Which means someone in the immigration sold names and contact info of foreigners in the immigration data base to these people.”

“Casey Segal
They take in people like him and kick the Retirement Visa holders out, makes no sense at all!!!”

“Travis Booth
I reported these guys months ago and called them scammers and they blocked me.”

“Christian Baumgart
Happy I didn’t pay them. I considered to use their service and have a friend who did it. That friend now has some sleepless nights not knowing if his stamp is legit.”

“Gary Ford
I get emails all the time from them, I’ve never used them and wouldn’t send my passport via post, I use a small agency in Pattaya only because the application is so complicated”

[Richard]

Many expats have said the same thing, spam out of nowhere

We’ve submitted reports to U.S. Embassy in Bangkok and Department of Justice on Chad’s illegal and malicious activities.

Looks like Chad got Facebook to delete the Barrow thread.

Luckily, there’s an archived version:
