LTR: a single digital review system
LTR applications are reviewed in a single BOI digital system that brings together the reviews by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Immigration Bureau, the Ministry of Labour and the Revenue Department.
What this means for you: The announcement does not report any change in eligibility requirements, fees or validity. The requirements on our LTR page remain as they are.
