Yes, I used the E-Visa system recently to acquire my LTR-Visa. After receiving my endorsement letter, I went along to the Thai-Embassy in Kuala Lumpur who informed that for applicants outside Thailand, the Embassies are instructing applicants to use the E-visa system to obtain the E-visa certificate. Mine took 3 working days.
