Yes I had already thought I would speak to the Australian embassy and see what they have to say as well as talk with someone at immigration but as people are saying different Immigration officers give different advice.

I don’t know if you can make this clearer for me but why do I need an affidavit from the Australia embassy for proof of funds. I have a letter from the Australian Government which manages the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme which is where my funds come from. Why is that no sufficient proof.

Wow. After reading all these comments I can now see why I am confused about the requirements.

Thanks I will look into that.

Thanks for all the advice. I think I get it now.

@Bobby *******

I know not to use agents.

I come and go several times a year so it is more like semi permanent.

Okay thanks for the advice

The letter I have is from the Australian government which sets out my fortnightly pension which is tied to the CPI and increases twice per year. My pension is paid by Comsuper as an income stream. I have bank statements from Australia showing I have been receiving this pension for the last 10 years. The criteria that I mentioned before does not state a Thai bank account.

Thanks James I did see that somewhere but Chinese person who applied for a covid extension at CM was told to get a letter from her embassy so that is why I thought I would check to see if anyone else has been asked for that.
