the Thai consulate in Brisbane told me they didn't handle visas, I had to go to Canberra. Fixed it all here with an agency, multi entry retirement. Works very well for me.
, not being picky but don't you need to also show money in bank when you re apply after 12 months? I know I have to get a new income declaration to re new my retirement visa.
As I said, the Aust Embassy does not require proof of funds, just a declaration you are receiving them. They will tell you all the bad things that will happen to you if you make a false declaration, end of story. Thai immigration will accept the declaration once it has been notorised.
Garry Benge, my house sale proceeds are earning over 9% in a super income account in Aust, why would I leave it in thai bank. I organised everything before I came here. Declaring an income is easy for me
