OA Visa Visa Application Process Financial Requirements Thailand Immigration Consulate Procedures

May 26, 2019

7 years ago

ORIGINAL POSTER

I am applying for a OA visa in Sydney, my income does not exceed 65,000 baht a month as I do not wish to draw that amount each month from my superannuation, my Australian bank accounts do not amount to 800,000 baht either. I do have a Thai bank account and a pass book showing 800k will the consulate accept a photocopy of my passbook? Has anyone faced this issue before?

Their income does not meet 65,000 baht per month, and their Australian bank accounts do not show the required 800,000 baht. However, they possess a Thai bank passbook indicating the necessary amount and are questioning whether a photocopy will be accepted by the consulate.
