I am preparing my trip home to Thailand. First thing is the way you obtain a visa for Thailand has changed. The printing of a form and gathering documents and sending a money order days are over. It is all done on the Thai e Visa web site. https://www.thaievisa.go.th/
You have to create an account then you have to scan all relative documents and upload them one after an other.
Now here is the thing! After navigating through to the appropriate visa visiting Thai family. It states must have proof of 400,000 Baht in a bank send 3 months of statements.
Well for a 3 month visa that seems a bit harsh. Now since the banks in Thailand got rid of online banking and only have mobile phone App how are you suppose to do that. When they even lock you out of screen capture when the App is live. So you can't get a picture? Mind you right next to requesting proof of 400K they add (,sponsor letter) F' em I will send the sponsor letter instead and see what happens. The fee now happens to be $120 AUD around 2500 Baht. One more thing they ask you to prove your address over seas. I scanned my electric bill.
When you sign off there is this document you electronically sign. Hmm what does it all mean ??????
Here it is......

I consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of my personal information, which I have provided for the processing of my visa application through the e-Visa system, by the Thai authorities or any authorized person or entity acting on behalf of the Thai authorities to the extent that such collection, use, and disclosure is for the purposes of immigration.
