LTR-WP visa candidates applying from overseas yet planning to collect their visa stamp in Bangkok, here are a few things that might be helpful to you;

- after you get your qualifications approval/endorsement which takes average 4-6 weeks, then you must be in Thailand in order to move your application forward. Don't try to submit any doc if you are not in Thailand yet

- once you arrive Thailand you can easily update/upload all your visa pages, TDAC info and use hotel address. MAKE SURE all empty boxes has a dash - sign, otherwise you won't be able to submit. TM6 should be 00000

- I received immigration pre-approval next day and given a green light to pick the appointment day. Follow the instructions in your BOI account and pick a day and time

- on the day of appointment bring 50,000 baht cash or make sure your money transfer limit in your Thai bank account is at least 50,000 THB for QR code payment. I suggest bring cash. Bring a copy of the 3 page Confirmation of Appointment that you will receive once you choose the date/time. Don't forget your passport and 1 passport/visa style picture.

- I arrived the appointment 15 min earlier, they started my case immediately. The rest is pretty fast, staff do the work while you relax at the lounge area, they bring you a few pages to sign, then LTR staff takes you to the immigration section so you can make your payment, then you get the stamped passport within minutes.

All very smooth process, LTR staff, even the officers at the immigration side treat you very well, I enjoyed very much and finished with a great vegetarian lunch at the food court. Good luck to you all
Answer summary
For LTR-WP visa candidates applying from overseas and intending to collect their visa in Bangkok, it is essential to be in Thailand after your qualifications are endorsed (which takes about 4-6 weeks) to proceed with the application. You should upload necessary documents and use your hotel address, ensuring all fields are filled correctly (use a dash for blanks) and TM6 is set to 00000. Following a successful pre-approval (often received the next day), schedule an appointment. On the appointment day, bring 50,000 baht in cash or ensure your bank allows for QR code payment. Arrive early, as the process is quick at the immigration office. Feedback indicates a smooth experience with efficient staff and facilities.

We recently received our LTR-Visa via the E-visa system (within 3-days of applying) offered through the Thai-Embassies, after applying from outside Thailand through the BOI. We did not have to make the journey to Bangkok.

yes, you are absolutely right. Getting the visa in Thailand is just one of the two options. The procedure after the approval varies, my post aims to help those wanting to get their LTR visa in Thailand.
