That's the winner. And only through the Sydney consulate. Canberra doesn't have that one. Strange anomaly, but Sydney always has "gone it alone"

@Todd ********

But that's US$80k isn't it? I'm afraid I fall short of that!

@Todd ********

Ah ok, I thought it was in bank, property or bonds.

Shipping money into Thailand is my biggest problem, which the LTR calls for. 90 day report now it's online is easy, 30 seconds. It's all what suits each individual, and the OX is great for me because I can leave my dosh in Aus getting good returns. But if it works for you it's great!

@Todd ********

Too many boxes on that one! I go for the simple life. If I can deal directly with the Sydney Consulate (the best on the planet trust me), I'm happy.

@Todd ********

Well it's 5+5 years, up there with the Elite Visa (although us Aussies already consider ourselves pretty elite anyway 🤣). The insurance is a pain, but

s has found a cheapish one that'll tick the box, although I'll still carry my 12-month credit card insurance. But it beats the shit out of transferring money to Thailand and having to park it here.

@Wayne ********

Thanks mate, got it! Looks good

@Wayne ********

Can I ask what your premium was? As you know I'm now looking at the OX visa (Sydney of course!) for next year

Contact Elite and tell them what your plans and name the school you will be attending..They will tell you what is required to ensure you will be able to apply for the Elite Visa when you're ready. At ALL COSTS AVOID AGENTS!!!

No visa renews. Once it's done it's done. You can however apply for an extension, which runs from the date the visa expires
