The LTR is a multi-entry visa so you can come and go as you please over those first 5 years. Think I’ve read bits out there mentioning an annual check-in with immigration (if you stay inside for over a year on the LTR) but don’t take my word for that.
Not to sour your hopes but just wanted to echo what you’ve probably seen around relevant posts:
On top of specific verification letters (employment status, permission to work in Thailand, etc), be ready to ask your company for foundational business documents which many seem hesitant to provide…especially when it’s for a visa they are not “sponsoring”.
The LTR website has a page listing all documents they want for the application…haven’t heard directly on people’s success with having less/more documentation but the best strategy is to provide something for each of their asks.
That’s great you’re doing research 6 months in advance. Don’t wait to start gathering your application. My own experience showed how much I underestimated the time needed to get a signature from my company on a single letter. My advice: start engaging early with contacts in your company who can help with the documents needed.
Keep us posted on how the process goes for you. With every new tale, we learn more about the LTR program. Good luck! 🙌
Was rejected after 5 months of working with the BOI office on documents needed. After getting on the phone with a supervisor, a reason “couldn’t be provided”, just the recommendation to re-apply 😅
Curious to hear how it goes for you…open for a DM if you want to chat
Echoing others comments about calling BOI directly and using the contact form on their website. That’s worked for me in the past as well as messaging the LTR team through their Facebook page:
