ORIGINAL POSTERWhat does evidence substantiating purpose of visit mean on visa application form for OA visa for thailand. Does that mean bank accounts etc.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The 'evidence substantiating purpose of visit' on the Thailand OA visa application typically refers to documentation that confirms the applicant's intention; for retirees, this can include bank statements, police check certificates, and medical certificates. Applicants are advised to provide original bank statements with official stamps, as digital copies may not be accepted. Recent discussions indicate that the OA visa application process has transitioned to an online system, prompting users to stay informed via the embassy's official website.

It`s the only way you can do it now in London. I assumed that`s what you were doing. You need to check the embassy website.
