Sporting Dog Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I am thinking of applying for a 60 day double entry tourist visa to Thailand. I am in Australia at the mo'. - how difficult is this to get? - can I get one thru the consulate in Perth or do I have to apply thru the embassy? - what is a good enough reason to get one? Anyone ever done this in Perth? At this stage i want the visa for tourist purposes only - this may change after I have been in Thailand for a while but I will do whatever is necessary visa-wise if that occurs. I intend to always stay legit. Thanks for the help.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenkannif Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Perth's a doddle IME. Tell them you have a Thai g/f and they'll probably give you a longer Non-imm Visa! < I'm not going to get told off for saying this am I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do go for a Non Immigrant O visa it might be best to give your reason as visiting friends as opposed to visiting Thai G/F, it shouldnt make a difference it just sounds better in my opinion.

kenkannif Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Or just say you're coming here to play golf that also works! Sorry I didn't think saying you had a Thai g/f was bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporting Dog Posted August 6, 2004 Author Share Posted August 6, 2004 Actually my fiance is in Thailand. Is there really a good chance I could get a non-imm 'O'? If yes, what would I need to show the consulate here? (we've been engaged since Nov 03, she's been here to Perth for 2.5 months, my family can vouch for her - do these things count for anything?) Should I really push it and ask for a multi entry non-imm 'O'? Your advice is GREATLY appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenkannif Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 ^ Just go for it, I don't think they are overly fussy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaiflyer1 Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 You/ll get the Non Imm O in Oz no problem, some consulates are stricter than others (Oz isnt one of them). If you want to put Visiting Thai G/F go ahead......i just personally think visiting friends is better. Your Thai G/f adds nothing to your application, you/ll get a Non Imm O regardless..........yes go for the multi entry ,it will give you a year stay here with a border run every 90 days.

Donno Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I got a non O in Aust and the only thing they asked for was the fee. It was that easy. Also it took about 15 minutes. Where you ask? At the Thai consulate in Brisbane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenkannif Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Switzerland is okay, but not as easy as the Aussie ones (or at least some of them) expect to have to show some paperwork (but trying never hurt!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thapsak Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Question: if i visit thailand from oz for say 34 days do i need a visa or just pay the overstay fees on departure. Will my "record" be flagged as an overstayer which i presume would work against me on future visits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regpye Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 I just got my Non Immigrant "O" visa this week in Adelaide. 90 days to visit my Thai wife. Had to produce marriage certificate, passport, passport photo, fillin a large form, give details of where I would be staying, show my travel details and dates, and pay a $90 AUD fee. Took about 20 minutes with all the chit chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your passport will be stamped for the overstay,it might be frowned upon, but it shouldnt affect any future visits. That said i would advise you to pay the money and get a tourist visa.......even 1 days overstay could get you locked up if you are "caught" before reaching the airport on the way back......its not worth the risk!

Axel Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 i got the same problem/question... only does that work for switzerland as well ? i really am visiting friends so... Give it a try in Zurich, which should be easier than Geneva or Bern. But no real experience, except my Swiss daughter who got a single entry tourist within 10 minutes. If you are not too far away, try Karlsruhe in D. This is a small honorary consulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
