While we have not done this thousands of time like our retirement visa services we have successfully helped a few hundred expats obtain their LTR visa under all categories.

You must need the requirements here

This is a fixed fee service where we charge 30,000 thb, and of that 5,000 thb is non-refundable. In the event we cannot successfully obtain your visa you are refunded 25,000 thb. If we get approval our team also assists with obtaining the sticker visa.

We offer services all around Thailand, but the process is longer if not in Bangkok.

For yearly extensions it can be 3-5 days, and for non-immigration it can be 3-5 weeks depending on the visa. These turnaround timeframes do not impact your visa expiration date as the visa would be under consideration, and you cannot be under overstay while this is happening.

But for our Bangkok Express service it is all done same-day.

was nützt mir die Rückerstattung, wenn das Visum zu spät kommt. Wenn ich im Ruhestand bin, dann geht die Kontoeröffnung ganz einfach.

@Hartmut *******
The translation we see is commenting on why should you care about a refund if the visa is late.

We are responding saying that for this service we know the same day if it is possible, or not. Which is why we offer a full refund if we are unable to complete the visa extension.

The reason why we need to mention this is that some agents will not return payment, or hold passport, and play delay tactics. This is why we need to mention timelines, and refund policies.

All payments for our services are done in the form of a fully refundable deposit, and contract. If we do not complete our job we are bound by that agreement to fully refund the client. This has been our payment process for the past 7 years to ensure transparency.

We are not sure what the translation says in german as we wrote it in english:

> If we're unable to obtain your visa promptly, you'll receive a full refund.

This is for a one day service, so the visa is either successful or not within the same 24 hours.
