This is a add on to my last post about my passport and transferring my retirement stamp to another passport. Thanks for all those that responded with good advice.
My next question is, are there any agents out there who can just come with me to the immigration office and act as a mediator to help get things done quickly and without me ending up frustrated and confused!! When I contact these visa agency companies they always seem to think that I need a service that costs about 20-30k which seems to be for people without all the right credentials. I have all the correct paperwork and I’m just legitimately renewing for another year and just need someone experienced to spend a few hours with me, helping me through the in person process for a few thousand baht so I don’t end up there all day and wasting my time. Any ideas?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The poster seeks recommendations for agents who can accompany them to the immigration office to assist with the process of transferring their retirement visa stamp to a new passport. They express frustration with standard visa agency services that charge high fees for unnecessary help, as they already possess the correct paperwork. Suggestions from commenters include considering an interpreter, arriving early, and using translation apps; however, some emphasize that the immigration process often requires either time or money, and some respondents query the poster's actual location in Thailand for more specific advice.
