Hi Y'all ... chicken before the egg question:

My kids will be staying under ED Visa's and we will be taking up guardian ED Visa. Question is .... in order to get the ED Visa sorted we require a bank letter confirming your THB 500,000 deposit that was paid into a Thai account. My understanding is you can't open a Thai Bank account without the Visa, but you need the funds in the account to get the Visa?

Thoughts? Experiences?

Also does anyone have experience with this type of Visa etc and getting it sorted from Australia?
