Non-OA Visa LTR Visa Wealthy Pensioners Visa Application Process Thailand Immigration Visa Requirements

ORIGINAL POSTER

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?

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.

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.

What are the steps for applying for the LTR visa in Thailand, and do I need to submit a police clearance certificate?
