How did you do it over the past couple of years with the travel & quarantine restrictions in both Thailand and Oz?

As others have said, in my opinion Bangkok Bank is the most helpful and cooperative. I opened mine in the Sri Racha branch with no hassles.

no it doesn’t. Mask means no selfish tourists who don’t want to abide by simple safety precautions in place in the country.

I am on a non O (retirement) extension issued in country, which does not, when issued, have the Covid insurance requirements of an OA visa. Is proof of insurance required if re entering Thailand on this visa? I’m fully vaccinated, including booster.

What paperwork are you talking about? If you are talking about you, a foreigner, marrying a Thai lady, the cost is virtually nothing. I married my Thai wife ten years ago, we did all the paperwork ourselves, no legal agencies were involved at all and from memory the overall cost was a few hundred baht.

Kool Breez is correct. The question refers to whether you have been refused a visa to Australia in the past. Your visa refusal to Thailand is not relevant.

Another alternative if you are over 50 would be a non-O (Retirement) visa.

LOL, I've given up - a pleasant 20 minute drive to the very friendly, quick & helpful Sri Racha office every 3 months is just fine for me.
