- I'll see what the Embassy comes back with - that seems to be key. I'm actually on the O-A multi entry visa (issued in NZ). So with the "visa run/exit the country" deal; that I'll do with a renewed insurance policy, I've got time to season the funds under both rule sets. Thanks for taking the time to provide your insight - much appreciated👍

as someone who will be doing this for the first time later in the year (New Zealander), does the local immigration offices work to a list of embassies that provides an affidavit, and those who don't? I ask because I would prefer to do the 65k method in a local Bank, but would rather avoid a situation on the day of them telling me "no, I can get letter from Embassy". I have just sent an e-mail to the NZ Embassy to check. Hopefully for me they have following the USA approach!
