Hi all,

I have contacted the Perth Thai Consulate, and the only way I am able to get a thai visa non immigrant is based on visiting family/friends.

They require a Passport copy of someone in thailand.

Only thing is, I don't actually have any friends/family in thailand.

So now they are checking the legitimacy of these requests it seems.

sucks for me, as it seems I would have to get an ED visa, or do the tourist visa thing.

Ah its a real bummer when you have to obey the rules.

For Australian nationals between the age of 18 and 30, with at least 3 years of study there is the working holiday visa:
