No just type it in as a zero

As lots of other people do

It’s all read by machines so it’s not as if a person is going to misread the 0 as O

not yet

It’s not a scam just another change in banking requirements

I do understand that

My dad had to persevere until he found a more senior person (with a good understanding of English) who finally understood his need for a TIN and processed it

Again I guess it is easier for some to just say ‘no need’ and send you on your way

This is where language is so important

applying for the non-O Visa in your own country requires the money to be in any bank.

When you apply for the one year extension based on retirement within Thailand the money has to be in a Thai bank

@Sue *********
they applied at the appropriate office by providing all relevant/required docs.

They will be filing tax returns No they won’t be paying tax

I have no idea if it will be that quick Try and search recent threads but it seems that the sooner the booked flight to Thailand is the quicker the application is processed

Up to you but be aware you should stay in Australia while waiting for the visa
Anna *********
Yes, my parents were recently asked for this and just applied for TIN and provided details

As far as they can see it’s a requirement that has little to no impact on them

Depends where you apply Sydney is based in the balance when you apply
