I will be applying in Australia for a Thai Retirement Visa. There are a couple of things I'm unsure of, as I've seen conflicting information. I am an Australian citizen.
(1) When first applying in Sydney, is it OK to provide a statement from an Australian Bank/Institution of a minimum 800,000 Baht account? I've seen it said this must be in a Thai bank account. But maybe this applies for subsequent annual renewals. I understand about the income/account mix but I'm looking to provide a account statement.
(2) Does a standard Non-Immigrant Visa type O-A for retirement allow you multiple entries?
(3) As time is not an issue, I am doing the best thing applying in Australia, or are there advantages applying after arriving in Thailand?
Thanks for any advice.
