Hey,

Does anyone have recent experience of applying via RTE London for a Trailing Spouse to a OA Retirement husband?

On the RTE site it says, 'Evidence of adequate finance - An original bank statement which states bank contact information and equivalent amount of At least 400,000 Baht or equivalent) for the last 3 months.'

My question is can this be a Thai bank statement in my name rather than a statement in my wife's name?
Answer summary
The conversation revolves around the requirements for applying for a Trailing Spouse visa to accompany a husband with an OA Retirement visa, specifically the adequacy of financial evidence. One user inquires whether they can use a Thai bank statement in their name instead of their spouse's. Other comments emphasize the importance of reviewing the correct visa requirements and clarifying the financial evidence needed for the application.

OP
Thanks Ellie so the following should be my wife's bank statement, "Financial evidence: amount of no less than 30,000 THB (£700), e.g. bank statements, sponsorship letter

- Applicant’s recent official UK/Ireland bank statement shows your name, address (Screenshots are not accepted)"?

I think you are checking the wrong information.

You need to see the part of "To stay with non-Thai family residing in Thailand". (not "To stay with Thai family residing in Thailand" part)
