I called the Australian Embassy (Canberra) and spoke to them as a follow up to my urgently needed DTV as well. They were very polite and super helpful. I had the visa approved in the next 2 hours after expressing my urgent requirements, because like you I had flights and accommodation booked and did not want to lose money
I don’t plan on becoming a tax resident Marb. I will be doing a border run to Cambodia after 6 months 180 days. I believe this eliminate the requirement for a Thai bank balance and to show proof of income again.
, I am doing the same as a registered business owner in Australia. I prepared a letter stating that my role within the company was eligible for remote work.
I had 500,000 Baht in the account a matter of hours when I sent my application in. This was in Australia back in December. It was accepted following a request for some additional documents not related to the bank balance.
