There is no such thing as a retirement visa or a long term visa,,,,, after being a member of this site a long time I know the pain of the administration people,,,,,,

So meany lazy people hit thaivisa site without doing any research at all it's not that hard to press a few buttons and look around Thai immigration site and then look at your country of origin sites and when you are proper stuck and need a answer then these guys can help you no problem ,,it's a bloody good help site ,it's not a site that if you can't be arsed and expect admin to fill out your visa and expect these guys to do it for you
