I got LTR visa in a passport that expires in November. I was planning to get a new passport in home country during summer, enter Thailand with that in September showing my visa in the old passport, and then have the stamp transferred when back here. But the lady in LTR office said it is 'better' to get new passport and transfer before leaving Thailand. I asked whether is mandatory to do like that not to loose the LTR, however no definite answer, just that it is better.

Anyone have personal experience on such situation? Would be just much more convenient for me to apply at home country rather than travel to embassy here and pay 4x the price. However if any risk of loosing the LTR I obviously need to get the new passport before leaving.

Thanks for adding me to the group!

Please go gentle on us - I’m looking to purchase a resale elite visa with longer than 20 year validity. Hoping that one of you may have a couple of them to sell. Please DM me. Many thanks!

LTR-T (work from Thailand) visa question:

If you were to quit or lose a job while on this visa, does this affect your visa status? I'm assuming that once you obtain the visa, you're able to stay in Thailand for the vlfive years even if you don't have a job temporarily, and only have to requalify after 5 years.

Is that correct?
