What do I need to know about applying for the non-immigrant O-A Visa as an Australian citizen?
A couple of questions regarding the non immigrant O-A Visa , if anyone has recently applied ( Australian passport holder ) , is the police check Frderal or State and can the Medical certificate be issued by a local GP , also if you have 800,000 Baht that should be fine right ? , any info would be much appreciated.
Answer summary
When applying for the non-immigrant O-A Visa as an Australian citizen, you need to provide several documents. The police check must be from the Australian Federal Police, and it can be obtained online. A local GP can issue the medical certificate, but ensure you use the specific form provided by the embassy. Furthermore, maintaining a balance of 800,000 Baht in a Thai bank should meet the financial requirements for the visa.

Can’t answer your questions but if applying through Sydney then 100% apply for the OX visa instead. It’s like $300 more but you get a 10 year (5+5) visa.

Sydney doesn’t require funds in Thailand. The only consulate that doesn’t.

@Paulo *********
Had a number of people say that when they applied for the OA the consulate wrote and said you qualify for the OX and would you like that instead. I believe the difference is $300.Paulo **********
OP@Stuart ********
different guidelines , 3 million Baht in the account ?

In America I got the police report from the local police and my medical from my general Dr if you have the 800k in a Thai bank showing it came as a foreign transfer just get the non-o and extend here for 1 year no insurance that won’t pay for much needed
