No change, still $60 for a tourist visa given that sydney has replaced the previous $60 tourist visa with the new evisa system it would seem that the 19 January 2023 list of visa fees has been somewhat invalidated. bearing in mind NZ and other countries evisa fee requirements can anyone confirm what sydney/canberra evisa fee requirements is.

The list of fees I provided is included on the new e-visa info page so no the fees are not invalidated. Tourist E-visa is listed at $60 https://sydney.thaiembassy.org/en/content/visa-information-visa-fees Edited March 19 by Pattaya57 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwifarang Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 4 hours ago, Smokin Joe said: Maybe this is in response to Thais being charged $211 NZD for an NZ Tourist Visa So given a US tourist visa is $185 USD / $305 NZD (approx) we can expect a Thai Visa in the USA to cost the same as a Thai visa in New Zealand. $5 cheaper than the US charge, but $89 more than NZ charges? Actually, come to think of it $300 NZD is weirdly similar to what the USA charges everyone including Thai. Is that what they have based the price on?

No two people are exactly the same and indeed some are far in a way different to each other. There are a million and one possibilities as to why someone would want a base. For 8 or 9 months your base is wherever you are. You don't need some formal base and if you really needed one Malaysia and other countries give many people 90 days NO VISA. I agree with the other poster. Not needed at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the tsunami struck quite a few accommodation providers never saw some of their customers again. Unfortunately inflation has taken it's toll and not so viable these days.

This is 100% factually wrong. New Zealand does NOT price visas different for different nationalities and there has been no change in the price of visas to New Zealand recently, and certainly there is no pricing according to nationality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally, some people would presumably be happy to pay extra for the convenience of not having to pack and unpack multiple times throughout their stay, even if they weren't intending to spend a significant amount of time in Bangkok. Do you really find it that hard to comprehend that other people do things differently to the way you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really find it that hard to comprehend that other people do things differently to the way you do? What part of "each to their own" do you have difficulty comprehending,? Furthermore you appear to be arguing purely for the sake of it, and on behalf of other imaginary, hypothetical people, "they" "some people" "other people" "somebody" "you" what's all that about ?
