Most consulates will take proof of funds from ANY bank account. BUT I don't know how the consulate you use will work sorry

nope, none at all. meet the requirements to get the 6 month METV from what ever thai consulate you use in your area of China and you should be fine. Your previous visa history (especially seeing as they are not tourist visas) has nothing to do with it at all

I’m planning to go back to China since I’m holding a Chinese passport! Will there be any problems because of my previous non-o? I got my first non-o in the U.S.

You have to go to your own (passport-issuing) country, country of (legally) residence or Australia for METV. Is that included your plan?

Liping Wang you can obtain a METV in Australia so long as you meet their requirements - you do not have to be a resident or provide proof or residency as this is NOT one of the requirements

China! I’m holding a Chinese passport. Do I need any proof of residence in Australia? Because I can possibly go there and visit my friend too!
