Ok that's brilliant. Thank you very much for the replies. It goes a long way to clearing up my questions and knowing which the requirements I'm going to have to meet. I'll post back on here what the outcome is in case anyone else ever has a similar query.

Hi guys,
I've been reading this site for a while but I've never contributed before as I've had nothing to add to the conversations before. I've had a good look around but I've been unable to find answers to my situation on this site or others. I've tried ringing the Thai Embassy everyday over the last two weeks, but without getting through to anyone. As I write I've been on hold for 2 hours 30 minutes. I've also emailed, Tweeted and Facebook messaged the London Embassy with no response. I'm asking these questions in the hope it saves me a trip to London.
My situation is quiet unique so I shall start my explaining.I was born in the UK and hold duel citizenship with Australia, so I have two passports. However I have stopped work 5 years ago because of an injury in Australia and currently receive an Income Protection Insurance benefits from an Australian company into my Australian bank account. I moved back to UK three years ago for support reasons.It would be easier to apply for to the Australian embassy for the METV as my finances are all in AU$ but I've already spoke to them and they've said I can only apply via them if I currently in Australia. However they've said I can take my Australian passport to the London Embassy and they will process the application.My questions are:1. If I take both my passports and other documentation to the London Embassy will they be able to process the request as per the Australian requirements or would they use the UK requirements? i.e. $8000AU in the bank or £5000 and a letter from an employer as per UK rules.If they can only process using the UK requirements:2. Can I provide evidence of my Australian bank account balance for the visa application with a UK passport?3. If I am allowed to provide evidence of my Australian bank account, would a minimum balance of AU$8000 be sufficient as per the application for the visa from the Thailand Embassy in Australia?4. As I do not work I cannot provide a letter from an employer to accompany the application. Will this be a problem?Many thanks in advance for anyone who can provide any information that may help me.

Thanks for the name check. I'll give her a call and see what she can tell me.
No I don't suppose it is a totally unique situation, probably should have said unusual instead. Great to hear there's an easy path through the process though. Thanks for your reply mate.
