ORIGINAL POSTER
LTR Visa question. On my last trip to Thailand I received my 10 year LTR WP visa. It expires in 2028 with my passport expiration.

On my next trip to Thailand will they still stamp my passport on arrival? If so, what should I expect the stamp to say about how long I am allowed to stay? Do I need to point out my LTR visa stamp at immigration? Is it helpful to use fastrack immigration on arrival?

Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary
If you are arriving in Thailand with your 10-year LTR WP visa, you will likely still receive an entry stamp upon arrival. It is advisable to point out your LTR visa to the immigration officer to ensure the correct stamp is issued, indicating a stay until either the expiration of your visa or your passport. Using fast track immigration may be beneficial as the agents are often familiar with LTR visas, but always verify the stamp details before leaving the counter.

If you use the fast track lane then they are pretty likely to have seen an LTR visa before. I’ve only done it twice but never had a problem. Do point it out and say LTR anyway and check the stamp before you walk away.

Absolutely ensure that the agent sees your LTR visa or they will stamp wrong date.

And don’t walk away from agent until you have verified accurate stamp. If should be 5 years from date of issue OR your passport expiry date. Whichever comes first

You don't need to point out your visa. Just check your stamp after you step away to make sure they stamped you in on the LTR.

You can only ever be stamped in until the expiration date of your passport, so that's when your entry stamp should be until.
