Can I apply for multiple visas, including the LTR Visa, while in Thailand or should I apply from the US?
I’m new to the Thai visa process and recently applied for the Non-OA visa. While rereading the requirements for the LTR Visa: Wealthy Pensioners, I noticed that I may qualify. Is it possible and advisable to apply for multiple visas? The LTR visa is processed through Bangkok instead of the Thai embassy in the US, which is my case. Can I apply for the LTR Visa while residing in Thailand, or should I apply before leaving the US? It seems that either way is possible.
Is there any harm in applying, even if things don’t work out?

Answer summary
The user is exploring the possibility of applying for both the Non-OA visa and the LTR Visa for Wealthy Pensioners in Thailand. They are unsure if applying for multiple visas is advisable and want to know if they can apply for the LTR Visa while residing in Thailand or need to do so before leaving the US. The comments indicate that applying for the LTR Visa directly through the LTR/BOI website is possible from both locations, and there are no noted drawbacks to applying for the LTR Visa while holding another visa.

Lonnie, I'm living in Chiang Mai on a non-O retirement visa. It's renewal date is October and I started my application for the LTR visa on the 24th of June. I presented my latest tax return and the other items required on application. So far I've been asked only for invoices relating to my health insurance which I bought for living here anyway. I'm also still sending to my bank each month the required 65k bath just in case I am refused the LTR. Should I be accepted, I'll ask for it to start when my current retirement visa expires.

Shouldn't have a problem applying for an LTR visa directly thru the LTR/BOI website you liked to.
There's no problem applying for it while you're in the US or after you get here to thailand either. Just do the application thru the LTR website and select you want to get the visa inside thailand at the LTR office
Contact them via their facebook page, they are usually good about answering thru messenger

Thanks so much. Based on the timeline presented on the LTR website, I'll likely have to wait until I'm there to apply as I have less than a month before I leave.Tod *********

I think right now they're taking about 8-10 weeks for their approval process (most of that time is waiting for the background check to come in)No problem starting your application and then coming here though, just make sure you select that you want to get the visa inked in at the LTR office once you're here in thailand NOT that you want to get it thru the embassy in your country.
