I am an Australian passport holder and permanent resident in Sydney. Am over 55 and investigating the Non Immigrant O-X (5 year) Retirement Visa.
Have seen conflicting 'Proof of funds' criteria, depending what Thai Consulate/HC i check. Some say THB 3million in Thai bank, located in Thailand. Others mention AUD 150k in Australian bank in Sydney, for example.
So I emailed the Thai Consulate in Sydney and asked them if i could qualify for the O-X based on holding AUD 150k in an Aussie bank. They said yes. Can.
Am interested if anyone else has successfully applied for an O-X visa using funds from your home country/bank?
