Happy to share that I received my LTR-P visa by email yesterday. It was a fairly simple process which did not need any Visa agency help. I am grateful to many in this group for providing guidance and helpful tips. Here is the timeline for my application:

April 23, 2025- Online application submitted to BOI with income and asset documents

April 28, 2025- Additional income documents requested by BOI. Had to submit the 2024 Form 1099 to support the income reported in 2024 tax return. Since I do not have any pension income, I was also asked to provide my investment portfolio which generated the passive income

April 29, 2025- Additional asset documents requested by BOI to verify liquid assets of $100K. The funds in Fidelity money market account was not acceptable

May 15, 2025- I submitted AXA insurance policy to avoid prolonged correspondences to prove that funds in Fidelity money market funds were fully liquid

May 29, 2025- Received email confirming my qualification endorsement

June 4, 2025- Received the qualification endorsement letter which was to be included with e-visa application

June 7, 2025- Applied online for e-Visa at Thai Embassy in Washington DC

June 11, 2025- Visa approval email received with e-Visa attached

Quick question, heading into BOI to have my LTR-P visa transferred to my new passport. They ask for a copy of old and new passport with your photo… now I would assume that it’s the passport photo page but do they also want 2 separate passport photos? Anyone have any experience with this process? Many thanks in advance.

Got my LTR-P visa today. FWIW, it took six weeks for the BOI cert plus another two weeks for the e-visa approval (about 8 weeks total). For unknown reason (different screen / agent), my wife's dependent LTR approval was much faster, three weeks for BOI.

Question: I believe I need to print the e-visa for immigration, but should it be in color? (chatGPT says color is best)

Hello everyone. Very good information on this site. I am currently in USA and have applied for LTR-P visa on October 14th with BOI. Still shows pending on their website but I would expect to get info (approval) from them this coming week. I am a little confused about the next step in the process. I know I can applie for the actual visa from Thai Consulate in Los Angeles??? Not sure how long that process takes or additional paperwork required. However, I am due to arrive in Bangkok on December 8th. Can I or should I complete the process once I get into Bangkok? I am only going to be in Thailand for 60 days this trip and already have a 60 day visa from consulate. Thank you.

Hello all received my LTR-P Visa. Seemed to be a little confusion at the airport when I arrived, e-visa in hand, but was all sorted in a matter of minutes. Also when I did my Tm30 in Pattaya they said come back the following day as they had no experience with them. Went to Siracha the following day since I was in that area and after a few photo copies I was in compliance.
