A lot different than most others.

No financial proof or proof of employment.

No financial proof or proof of employment.

That one suggests those with a valid Australian visa can apply.

If the requirements do exclude proof of employment and the need to show significant financial resource then the visa may be attractive to many.

If the op is actually how it will be applied then proves Au has a realistic attitude.

An intriguing inconsistency here. I wonder if it’s just an error?

single entry

" A copy of airline ticket confirming the date of your arrival to Thailand as well as your departure from the country "

multiple entry

" A copy of airline ticket confirming the date of your first and second entry into Thailand within the validity period of visa "

i.e. only interested in the entry into Thailand and no mention of the departure tickets which in fact is directly opposite what Bali Indonesia used to require for triple entry. They said they didn’t care how you got into Thailand only when and how you were leaving.
