Is it my machine or can anybody else not get on to the vfs web site, trying to access www.vfs.co.th (to check progress of Visa) and its always not found....have they changed the address and not told anybody?

Try this weblink. www.vfs-au.net/

This is good, such an outsourcing success story - We charge more for less or slower service :

The Australian Visa Application Centre will be run by VFS (Thailand) Ltd. A service charge of 400 THB plus 7% VAT will be levied per passport. In case of Partner and Family visa a service charge of 400 THB plus 7% VAT will be charged per passport but for children below 12 years a service charge of 250 THB plus 7% VAT per passport will be charged

Thanks David96, www.vfs-au.net worked first time...cheers
