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

Hey all

Register for my COE for the sandbox Phuket but it never ask for my reservations, airline and testing schedule. Is this normal or will there be more to come.

Thanks

(I couldn’t find the question option)

On applying for COE..

I was denied for failure to upload flight info as proof of my stay being under 45 days.

I thought you were supposed to be pre-approved BEFORE uploading flight info?

There’s also no specific place to upload flight info or ASQ..

I just want to make sure I got it right before I buy my plane ticket...

I’m also on hold with the NY consulate right now hoping to get answers..

Can you change your flight date and hotel after COE pre-approval but before sending it in for final approval? I got pre-approval for the CoE (in which I gave 4.4 as date of travel and gave a hotel address). However, I might need to fly the next day instead and use a different hotel. So can I enter these into the CoE application and still get approval?
