Hi all,

I'm flying to Perth tomorrow to get my first Multi Entry Non-Immigrant 'O' visa for visiting a Friend.

I have been using holiday visa's to date as I work a Fly in Fly out job outside Thailand.

I called and made an Appointment so I could get a same day visa.

As mentioned in previous posts, the Lady there is very helpful.

She asked me what sort of visa I wanted, I mentioned a Non-Imm 'O' and she then asked if I own a condo or have a Thai Girl Friend. I replied that I have a Thai G.F. and rent a condo.

I then asked what I will be required to bring and she informed me that I need to bring a signed copy of my G.F.'s Passport or ID card.

Just to be safe I also have a signed letter from G.F., bank statment, BKK lease agreement and Proof of Salary.

I was getting worried that they might start to toughen up on these consulates and I could miss the boat so to speak.

Wish me luck.

The consulate at Perth is helpful, so you should not have problems. Let us know how you get on.

The signed copy of the ID is all you will need, but good luck anyway.

Thanks,

I'll keep you all up to date.

So if somebody owns a condo, you do not need a thai girlfriend?

Awesome, hope to hear a good report back

'Proof of salary' means that you have been/are working. How did you manage that wothout a visa/WP? Would this be better left at home? Would it raise questions at Perth?

Wait...sorry...just saw 'I have been using holiday visa's to date as I work a Fly in Fly out job outside Thailand.' My fingers are quicker than my brain at this time of night!

Sorry. Have a good trip.

Perth will issue if you have a condo in Thailand.

..but the two go together really well..

Its almost a requirement.

I went to Perth last year to get a new Non-O because I stuffed up my extension. I found them very helpful polite and efficient. The whole process was finished well within my expectations.

They do have a requirement that either you live in Perth or WA or you have stayed the night. If you catch the TG flight the afternoon before, stay a night in a Hotel and then got on the afternoon flight back - that will sort it all.

Hi all,

Back from my visa run to Perth with a brand new Multi Entry Non-Imm 'O' in my Passport.

I arrived at 9am for my appointment and handed over the 2 forms, Passport, 2 x Photo's and Signed Copy of G.F.'s I.D. Plus $225 Aus.

Took all of 5 mins, asked me where I was staying (Burswood) and how long my visits to Thailand would be (then prompted me to say 80 days )

They didn't ask to see any over documents and I didn't offer haha.

Told me to come back at 11 am to pick up my passport. 2 hour turnaround, not bad at all.

They where a pleasure to deal with, especially with the amount of people that they have to process.

Cheers, Rammy

Thanks for your report, and good to hear all went well.

Indeed!

Out of curiosity, all in all what do you think it set you back for everything including flights / accommodation?

Wow, awesome report. Good news indeed just a tad far for some people to make the trip. Just need to find some bargain Perth fares

Hi.

I am considering going there to avoid the 100k in bank bs from KL.

1. Can I have the email address of the Thai Consul in Perth?

2. Cheap accommodation nearby?

3. Flights from Phuket available?

Thanks!

There is no Thai Consul in Perth. They closed. As you appear to be married you might try Brisbane.

Thanks Lopburi3!
