Hi everyone,

My employee is planning to apply for a non-IB visa, but there's an issue. The Thai embassy in Sydney made a typo in his name on his e-visa, and because of this, the BOI isn't allowing us to proceed with his non-IB visa application. The officer advised that he needs to return to Sydney to correct the e-visa and apply again. I wanted to ask if it's possible to make this correction while he's still in Thailand?

This is posted on BOI LTR website. Does this mean one has to stay in Thailand continually for 10 years?? THIS IS A GENTLE REMINDER THAT ALL LTR VISA HOLDERS HAVE RECEIVED THE RIGHT TO OBTAIN A 10-YEAR VISA/STAY PERMIT. HOWEVER, PLEASE KINDLY NOTE THAT THE PERIOD OF THE STAY PERMIT ON THE PASSPORT MUST

CONTINUE SEAMLESSLY TO PRESERVE YOUR RIGHTS TO THE 10-YEAR VISA. IF YOU SWITCH TO ANOTHER TYPE OF VISA TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OR IF YOU FAIL TO MAINTAIN YOUR LTR VISA PERIOD, THIS MEANS YOU HAVE WAIVED THE RIGHT TO PRESERVE THIS 10-YEAR RIGHT BY LAW. THE IMMIGRATION BUREAU HAS RECENTLY INFORMED US THAT THIS WILL RESULT IN THE TERMINATION OF YOUR LTR VISA.

Hello! I am seeking advice on what professional activity can be done with an O Visa and if it is possible to start a company in Thailand with this Visa O, and any ways to start it without the 3M thb requirement for foreigners? I used to hold F Visa before. I would appreciate any advice or reference to reliable lawyers that could help.

Great day for me today. LTR finished, stamped in and set for 5 years. For me, it was actually easier doing the paperwork for that than my METV.

One thing I did was to make a point of asking about the 1 year report because I’ve heard different opinions on it. They flat out said, it is one year. Leave The Kingdom and it resets. They actually put the report on March 10 2025 card in my passport. And, I asked about the transferring from old passport to a new one and it’s very easy to do.

Hey all, question about the 10 Year LTR visa.

Can anyone point me to any verified documentation or an expert who can verify what the expectation is after the first 5 years of the visa? I'm trying to verify if we must re-apply/re-qualify for the visa to get the remaining 5 years, or if it is guaranteed once you obtain the LTR and it will be a simple process of getting a new sticker/e-visa/stamp.

My concern is if I don't continue to meet the requirements after 5 years (eg. I don't work for a company that meets their requirements for the Work from Thailand LTR-T) they may cut the visa short and I'll be forced to get a different visa.

Thanks in advance!

I've once heard that there is a law that says that foreigners working for a Thai company have to be paid not less than 45k baht. Is that actually true and is that law enforced in any way? Not saying that i would work for any less than that, just like to know. TIA
