I did it last week. As I live in NSW the evisa site ended up having me apply at the Thai Consulate in Sydney. When applying for the visa choose other, then choose from the drop down menu, retirement over 50 pensioner. You must show equivalent of 800k in your Aussie bank account which I had. This visa is a non o retirement and costs $120 aud and that will be a 90 day visa. I will extend that when I am in Thailand either by putting that 800k in my Thai bank account or by using an agent. Good luck!

it means multiple entry tourist visa and costs substantially more. In Australia the single entry is $60 for the METV it's $300 but different Consulates around the world have different prices.

Anonymous participant 994 no, no work visa. I changed phones 2 years ago and did paper updates at my branches at that time including Bangkok bank taking my photo so I could transfer higher amounts, not sure if that had anything to do with it. I won't be back in Thailand for 2 months so I hope they won't shut me down until then.

Anonymous participant 994 I have both a Kasokorn and Bangkok Bank accounts, both opened 10 plus years ago and I still use both accounts. I have received nothing from either banks and I use the apps almost everyday.

At Jomtien Immigration office they certainly want a hard copy, no doubt as I did it a few months ago.

In September when I left Suvarnabhumi it was the same for me through electronic gate. I kept my boarding pass just in case.

I was watching that thread too because if I have to fill out that form how can I do it as I won't be back in Thailand for some months. How long do they give you to do it? Can it be done online? Will they freeze my account etc??
