How do you even apply for the LTR visa? I can't find any agencies that deal with it nor a site where you can apply. Do I need to reach out to the BOI directly?

It's not available yet - due to come into effect September 1, 2022.

Why would anybody pay to use an agent, unless you are trying to circumnavigate the rules. You still have to produce all the necessary documentation to hand over for the agent to present to the IO, presumably, and pay him for that simple task.

By the many comments and suggestions on these boards to ‘just use an agent’ to circumnavigate the rules it would seem there are lots of folks willing to do so.  The question is how well will that work in this case. It looks like some thought was put into setting this new program up to improve on many of the problems with the existing system.
