Based upon your advice last year I flew to Australia and received the one year non o within 2 days (I posted the passport from Newcastle). Thanks again for your valuable info. Greatly appreciated !!!

Siamkid <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Siamkid agree 100% with Dr P - Is there any reason you did not use the consulate in Sydney?? Reason for question, I am also from Newcastle (waratah) and have used both Sydney & Brisbane in the past! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_Pat_Pong Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Sydney have new visa staff and are now as tough as nails. Express post and Brisbane is the way to go. www.thaiconsulate.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcity Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 (edited) Dr pat pong , do you think the extraordinarily helpful Brisbane people are able to issue a retirement visa ? or just the visa O ? and what happen with the 3 year retirement visa ( announce 6 month ago ) ?

dr_Pat_Pong Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 The announcement some months ago regarding three year visa's only covered Non-Immigrant Business visa's, not retirement visa's. Are you Australian ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcity Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 yes, dual passport ! Not 50 yet , but when that happen, just wonder if Brisbane can issue a retirement visa or just issue the visa O and me doing the stuff at soi samplu ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_Pat_Pong Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Police clearances in Australia and an Australian medical, together with expensive notorizations make Suan Phlu your very best, quickest and cheapest option IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderDuck Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 (edited) To finish the story ... Applied for the "O" multi today. "Visiting friends" not advisable ... its better to have an interest in the culture. Very helpful staff. Arrived 9am ... retrieved passport with multi "O" @ 10.30. Happy Camper.

Mark Wolfe Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 What did you put in the box for "non-immigrant visas only" for "Local guarantor and address" and/or "Guarantor and address in Thailand"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_Pat_Pong Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Guarantor is a misnomer. They only want the names of referees ( and don't insist ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wolfe Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Sorry for being so dim, but let me get this straight: You just walked in without any papers showing anything of the nature of business or being a journalist or anything and they gave you the 12-month multiple entry? As an American in Taiwan, could I just pop over to Perth and expect to sail through as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_Pat_Pong Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Perth and Brisbane are fine, but a Media visa is hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
