ORIGINAL POSTER
Since the Thai Consulate in Sydney and also the Thai Embassy in Canberra switched to the Thai E–Visa system (Thai eVisa Website) since 19 March 2024, does the Thai Consulate in Sydney still accept 3 Million Thai Baht equivalent in an Australian Bank Account, or, is the situation now like all the other Thai Embassies and Thai Consulates in that the 3 Million Thai Baht would have to be in a Thai Bank Account for the 10 Year Non O–X E–Visa at the Thai Consulate in Sydney??

TLDR : Answer Summary
In light of the Thai Consulate in Sydney switching to the Thai E-Visa system on 19 March 2024, there is confusion regarding the acceptance of 3 million Thai Baht in an Australian bank account for the Non O-X E-Visa. Reports indicate that the consulate still accepts the funds in a foreign bank account, similar to previous regulations.
