Since last week, the financial requirements for a Non-immigrant O-A have been increased.
See Thai Embassy The Hague 1200 000 Baht and Thai Embassy Brussels 1000 000 Baht. Why the difference?
Has any information about that appeared in the media or did I miss it? If so, where can I find that. Preferably the official info/note.
Will this also apply to O-A extensions?
