ORIGINAL POSTERI started the LTR Visa application last March 23rd and this morning I checked my email and found out I've been approved. I had some back and forth with the Thai BOI, but their requests for additional information was not unreasonable. The same day they asked for the information, I promptly replied to their request. With each submission, I did add a cover letter fully outlining the documentation submitted. I do not know if this was beneficial to those reviewing my submissions, but I wanted to show my true desire to provide full clarity to the information I provided.
Yes, I cannot tell you how happy my wife and I are about receiving this approval!
September cannot get here soon enough!
