Hey everyone

heading over to thailand november 8. got a one way ticket from perth (aus) to bkk. planning to stay for about 10 weeks, while my fiance's prospective marriage visa gets processed. Just filling out the form for the 2 month tourist visa (and then planning to extend it 30 days while im over there). On the form, do i put 2 months as my proposed stay, or 10 weeks; as a single tourist visa will not let me stay for 10 weeks only 60 days.

Also, I only have a one way ticket and no evidence of further travel or accomodation, i assume this is ok. Is this the best visa to get for my situation?

Also, what is the best way to submit the form for processing. My expat mate was telling me to submit it in person, but i can't find any embassy in perth, only eastern states.

Last question, when is the best time to submit it; because i realise that time starts ticking from the date of approval and not the date of entry. I heard 2 weeks before planned entry?

Regards

Nick

there is a consulate in perth open Tue and Thursdays only look in yellow pages Think your one way ticket will be a problem as the airline has a right to deny boarding with out an onward journy

Put 2 months. The ticket shouldn't be problem.

You might also be able to get a non immigrant O visa if you have some domcumentation about about the your fiance's visa application. That would give you 90 days without an extension.

There is a consulate in Perth. It has been mentioned on this forum before as a good place to get a visa.

Edit: If you have a visa a return ticket is not required. Just show your visa to the airline if questioned.

So...the ticket is or isn't a problem? cheers for the other info. i think i'll just go for a tourist visa...as a non immi o visa might take longer to process and i'm leaving in just over two weeks. i hope there is enough time! If i pop it in next tuesday in person, do you think this will leave enough time?

OK great, thanks for that. Here I come LOS!!! Can't wait to drink some leo, its been a while!
