Hi any help be appreciated 

Planning to apply for the soft power route but don’t have an income anymore as been made redundant . I have £48k in my account will they ask me how I will be able to support myself . I do have mining certificates for Australia so will go there when I run out of money. Do you think this will be okay

Summary so far

The user is considering applying for Thailand's soft power route but is currently unemployed and has no income, only savings of £48k. There are concerns about whether the visa application will require proof of a stable income, as opinions in the comments suggest having a reliable income is important for planning to live in Thailand.
