during the application process you might be requested to provide additional documents and fix those previously provided. Once everything is settled they make a decision. My first attempt has failed (was initiated in September 2022) due to invalid tax statement for year 2020. Recently I reapplied providing tax statement for year 2021 and 2022. I think they have to check our legal stay history in terms of violation of the immigration law. I don't think BOI really cares about volunteer visa history, but once you approved there is a stage when your application will be considered by the immigration office - they might have questions. Good luck 🤞

wish you good luck 🤞

@Paul *******

well, I'm in the process sir. Waiting for my second LTR application being processed. It takes time, so I have to prepare for my next visa run. Hopefully it's gonna be the last one 🤞

@Hiro *****

the document wasn't in English but I attached the partial translation for the most important part. The main reason of their rejection is that I didn't meet the minimum amount required, despite the fact that I earned more than I paid taxes for (I did provide a prove of it). All this confusion happened because at that year I switched from one taxation system to another.

@Jo *********

it was tax statement for year 2020. I have already reapplied adding tax statement for 2022. Hope it'll work this time 🤞

@Hiro *****

sure, it was tax statement for year 2020

how to contact the Elite people? Can you provide a link or line id? Google results are full of agents and it's hard to understand who is legit

@Phil *******

yeah, I'm definitely not a tourist and I'm really trying hard to change my status without using dodgy options like Ed-visa. The perfect option for me would be LTR Visa, but my first attempt has failed (Bangkok) and now I have to mess around obtaining required document which is time consuming. I'm a citizen of Russia, 32 years old.

@Steve *******

it took 3 months for BOI to process my application and it was rejected due to one invalid document. They suggested to reapply this year once I obtain requested document.

@Robert *******

thank you for sharing your experience. My first attempt of getting LTR was failed due to one invalid document. Now I'm leaning towards getting elite visa. Why did you mention $10K if the cheapest membership is 600,000 THB which is equivalent of $18K?
