If it was me I would probably spend the 4k and get an agent to assist you in opening a bank account . Then transfer directly with Wise or a similar company. Remembering you can take $10,000 in cash out of the country, and if you need more just fill out a simple form and hand it in after you clear passport control. Well that's in Melbourne not sure about other airports. But you're already in Thailand so that might be advice for another trip.

At first it said just a single entry non immigrant visa. After I started the application I see clearly I was applying for an O visa. That's why I asked, I expecting to have to provide a bank Account statement but I didn't expect 800,000 and 65,000 as I was under the impression it was expected when applying in Thailand and needs to be placed in my account two months prior to extension.

Thank you so much. After all how hard can it be🤣

@Mark ******

So if I understand it correctly, you can still get a 90 day non immigrant O retirement single entry Visa on line.

I think it's a case of paying for someone else's sins. Why should you have to build a case.... It's simple because you want a successful outcome. I'm not saying it's satisfactory but it's just the way it is. I can sense your frustration and its warranted. I wish you well.

@Frank *********

Indeed it is.

@Daniel ****

It's no racism, and its not just Australia. Unfortunately Thai people have in the past displayed deceptive behaviours. If you can build a case you will be more than likely to be issued a Visa. Healthy, bank account, proof of relationship, successful business, etc. All factors that will influence their decision.

Not anymore 😂😂😂
