ORIGINAL POSTER
Has anyone gone through the process of an LTR (working from Thailand) visa?

I've done my research however, would like some real opinions on how hard this is to achieve. Difficult to do? Use an agent?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to DM me to discuss.

Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The process of obtaining an LTR visa for working in Thailand is generally manageable if you meet the necessary requirements. Users recommend gathering all required information from the official checklist available on the BOI website and submitting the application online. Direct communication with the BOI is advised for any issues that arise during the application process. While some opted to self-apply, it is important to ensure that all documentation, including tax returns, is properly translated and certified. For those seeking assistance, using an agent may be considered if they encounter too many challenges.

i did it without an agent. Everything went well except some translation issues for my tax return. It’s needs to be done and stamped by a official translation company. Make sure you work for company with the required revenue level.

It's not difficult if you meet the requirements.

Just get the checklist from their website, and go down the list and gather each piece of information.

Once you have everything, submit it through the online application.

My application seemed to stop a couple of times but a phone call to the BOI got it moving again each time.

If you have any questions ask the BOI directly as they make all the decisions on what qualifies and what doesn't, so anyone else's opinion doesn't matter.
