Hi, has anyone applied for a LTR visa? 

I am struggeling to apply for the LTR(T) as the online system requires me to upload the so-called 'letter of endorsement from the BOI'. I have already sent them an email but they told me that I have to apply first in order to get this document. But in their online system I can not aplly without this document... So did anyone passed the online application yet?

Any hints and experience in application to LTR is very welcome!!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The Long-Term Resident (LTR) Visa application process requires applicants to obtain a 'letter of endorsement' from the Board of Investment (BOI) before they can apply for the visa. Applicants must first apply to the BOI, which will issue the letter if eligibility is confirmed. This letter is then submitted to the nearest Thai consulate to obtain the LTR visa. Several users have confirmed that they faced similar hurdles, indicating that the application process should begin with the BOI.

You have to apply to BOI first. They will issue a letter to you if they determine you are eligible. During the process you will pick the Thai Consulate nearest you. Upon being granted the letter , you can send it to the Consulate for them to issue your LTR visa. From my understanding you will print out the email from the consulate and when you enter Thailand your passport will be stamped with the LTR visa. Everything is done online.

Are you applying at the BOI website or at a consulate?

You have to apply to the BOI and get an approval letter that you use to apply for the visa itself.

The LTR Visa is issued by the Thai BOI Board of Investment...

Meet the specific requirements for the LTR Visa and obtain it.

Local Thai immigration offices will refer you to the BOI for any additional information about the LTR.

I did not know about this survey. But now I went through it and I am eligible for the LTR Work from Thailand Visa (which it seems is called LTR(T) ).

I am not sure whats happening next, because this surveys seems to be from an official site. At the end I was able to enter my email and they said my request will be handled by their team. Let's see what happens next...

Anyway I think I was already a step further because I have already signed up in their online system and was about to fill all forms there.
