Filling in the online eVisa for O visa.

After uploading passport, photo, ID....came to the placethat I can not skip nor I have an idea why is it asking me. I clicked LTR (Long Term Resident) Visa (P) at the beginning.

Anyone knows how to skip that? Or do it all over again with different visa type? Edit: over again, as "Non Immigrant Visa".

Yeah, it can not be changed, it says "The first step cannot be edited because it may affect the next step information."

4 . Letter of qualification endorsement issued from the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) (valid for only 60 days since the date of issue). The applicant can apply for the letter of qualification endorsement via https://visa.boi.go.th.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is encountering an issue with the online eVisa application for a Long Term Resident (LTR) Visa. After completing initial steps, they realized they mistakenly selected the LTR option and want to change it to a Non-O Visa but found that the application cannot be edited due to a restriction on changing the first step. Other users in the comments provide clarification that the Non-O Visa is different from an LTR Visa and share their own experiences with the application process, indicating it can be time-consuming.

It took me 4 hours, not because Thais were slow, Thai Immigration requested me, additionally, to attach my airline ticket (not saying both ways). I could not as my attempts to buy a ticket to BKK were rejected payments.

My bank fixed it. They are now looking into my "O" application. The point is, whoever is going that way, leave aside a day, at least half a day for that effort.

Thanks, Brandon. That was it, submitted it.

The non-O visa is not an LTR visa. You chose LTR visa. If you want to apply for a non-O retirement visa you must choose that option.
