BOI Approval LTR-Pensioner Visa E Visa Application Visa Approval Process Thailand Immigration Royal Thai Embassy

ORIGINAL POSTER

I recently made a post detailing my application process for getting BOI approval for a LTR-Pensioner 10 year visa. It took 18 calendar days from start to finish. 

I thought I would close the loop by describing my follow on application for the actual E visa from the Royal Thai Embassy in Wash DC. 

On Thursday 3 March I completed the application online and submitted payment using a credit card. Initially the card was declined. I called the card number and it was flagged by the security program bc the transaction actually went through a Hong Kong bank. Once I confirmed it was me I tried again and it went through no problem. So by Thursday 3  March about 10 am I have a paid application showing a status of processing. 

On Monday 5 March at 2 pm I get the email saying my visa is approved and has the letter to print out. 

Wow!
