I recent’y applied for an LTR, exceed the yearly passive income, Pensions, annuities, VA disability etc etc etc, used an agent, sent them a ton of paperwork and so far have not paid any money, but it has been a month since ‘they sent to Government’ I assume the Bureau of Investment - what is the typical waiting period for an LTR approval, and/or denial. If anyone has been denied, can you share the reason??

1-2 months is not unusual. Did you use one of the officially approved BOI agents, or some other agent you found?

Check the online status of your application at the BOI LTR website. You did establish an account, right?

Mine took seven weeks, mainly because they didn't even look at my application until I called four weeks after submission. But I know other people with nearly identical applications who were approved in three weeks. So who knows 🤷

I used an official BOI agent Star Visa in Chiang Mai, a couple friends of mine used them and got theirs, one wasn’t even in Thailand yet and was approved.

Would you mind sharing how much the Agent charges to assist with the application, I know a lot of guys say it's easy & to do it yourself but if the pricing is reasonable I would rather they do the submission/chasing for me.

I haven't heard anyone mention prices lately, but back when the official list of agents was released, I heard they started around 100,000 baht.

50K Baht for BOI, 50K Baht for Agency - asked about expedited process, none exists.
