ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
If you are applying for the O retirement visa and are married to a Thai, you need to hold 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account. Although the marriage visa requires only 400,000 baht, it typically involves more complicated requirements. Additionally, ensure your marriage is registered in Thailand to meet visa application standards. There is also a query regarding the maximum amount transferable from Australia to your Thai Krungthai bank account, which may depend on your bank's policies.
