Today, I received my LTR Visa. My gratitude goes to all those that posted helpful info on this forum. As for certain veterans, they accept Tricare. Do not hesitate to try to use VA disability coverage. 

My gratitude also goes to the staff at Thai Board of Investments/ immigrations. I got same day email replies and they were transparent. I see no need to waste your money on agent.

They turned down my VA disability coverage and I tried to get the VA to write something, but of course, they dragged their feet. Good to know. They said my letter did not suffice for my FMP that I needed it to state the coverage limits.

Adriane Lew there are several veterans who have been successful in getting approved for the LTR visa with Tricare cover.

James Miller I don’t have Tricare so maybe that’s the missing component. I just got another policy that covers what my FMP doesn’t, which isn’t much. I would rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Oh the joy of adulting 😂
