I could not be happier with my experience with Wat, Fah, and the entire Thailand Blueprint team. From the very beginning, everything was organized, professional, and tailored specifically to my situation.
I was moving from the United States to Thailand and wanted someone I could trust to guide me through the entire process of obtaining my retirement visa. My Thai girlfriend had found another agency near her work that was less expensive, but I decided I wanted the confidence of knowing that everything would be handled properly and that I would have help every step of the way. I am so glad I chose Thailand Blueprint.
I worked primarily with Wat and Fah, and both were extremely personable, professional, and dependable. Everything they told me would happen, happened exactly as planned and on time.
My first day was opening my Thai bank account with Fah. She made the entire process incredibly easy. Watching her interact with the bank sta immediately knew I had made the right decision. She handled everything, showed me exactly where to sign, and once I received my ATM card and bank book, she personally showed me how to use them at the ATM, including how to update and scan my bank book. I walked away feeling completely confident. Then came the day of my retirement visa appointment with Wat, and that experience was amazing. Wat had the entire day planned and coordinated perfectly. I was with another expat going through the same process, and we kept saying to each other how lucky we were to have Wat taking care of everything. We even joked that we would have gladly paid more for this level of service! While we watched other people dealing with stacks of paperwork and looking stressed, we were able to relax because Wat had everything under control. He coordinated the appointments, paperwork, photographs, and timing with the staff. He even bought us coffee, organized lunch, and arranged a taxi for us when we were finished. The entire process took only a couple of hours and was incredibly smooth.
What impressed me most was the attention to detail and the personal service. Even after everything was completed, Thailand Blueprint sent me a personalized checklist with the important dates and steps I will need to follow in the future. Wat also recommended an excellent health insurance agent who provided me with equally great service.
If you are moving to Thailand from abroad and need help with a retirement visa, I highly recommend Wat, Fah, and Thailand Blueprint. Having experienced the process myself, I would not use anyone else. The peace of mind, professionalism, organization, and personal attention were worth every penny. Thank you, Wat and Fah, for making what could have been a very stressful process such a great experience!
