What is the status and process of applying for the LTR visa in Thailand, particularly regarding family members' visas?
I applied for the LTR visa November 13th and it went from "pending" to "Consideration by Government Agencies" about 2 weeks ago. I did not get an email so I was curious if I need to reach out to anyone at this point. My wife and kids are planning renewing their EDU / Guardian visas in January if we do not hear back. Has anyone applied for the new LTR visa recently? I am not working in Thailand, I spend time with my family here and then fly to SEA & ME&A for work.

Multiple commenters shared their experiences regarding LTR visa applications, issues faced with visa denials, and questions about dependent and education visas for children. Notably, one commenter upon approval shared their next steps for attending an in-person appointment, while others discussed the requirements and processes for family members' documentation.

Very interesting - can you please tell me what process was followed for chidrens ED visas and your wife as a dependant - i am currently in Thailand and our cambodian 4 yr old child has now enrolled in school here. Her cambodian mother is here on a tourist visa. I was hoping to get the child an ED visa and her mother a dependants visa. Nothing is straight forward at the moment as they have stopped issuing ED visas but unsure of this includes foreign national school children.

I was denied specifically because with my job (airline pilot) I work very little out of BKK airport. So if you're u do not work completely from thailand they will deny. Though I'm highly suspicious they wanted a bribe.
