Thanks, exactly the case for Aust now: this time last year Albo the PM said he would make the process easier, in fact it became impossible without using an agent here, or in Oz. Agents in Pattaya and Bkk gaurantee a holiday visa (approx 20kbaht). Do they have Oz Embassy contacts? .. No its VFS.
Agree on the interview/interogation process, partner or relative not allowed in the VFS office, why is that, to appeal the knockback is expensive and fruitless!
