Application For Tourist Visa From Perth Wa

[Hillside4Phil]

Thanks in advance

Have tried the search engine but could not find the information I was after.

Has anyone from Perth Western Australia done an application for a tourist visa recently?

Perth no longer has a Consulate as of 2010.

Just interested to know of how the process was and I read it could take up to 10 working days to process and you have to provide enough for postage to the embassy and back to the sender etc.

Due to the closure of the Royal Thai Consulate-General office in Perth, all visa applications from Western Australia must be submitted by post to the Royal Thai Embassy in Canberra or other Royal Thai Consulate offices in Australia.

Edited .. you are correct they are actually saying ....

The Embassy may take up to 10 (ten) working days for visa application process. In addition, visa applicants will have to allow sufficient time for postage and delivery. Therefore, please be advised to submit the application to the Embassy in advance, at least 3 weeks prior to departure.

I suspect most people would submit to an Honorary Consulate, as Perth was, for better service.

Edwinclapham is correct. It has to be sent to Canberra http://canberra.thaiembassy.org/announcement_perth.html

It is true that the website to which you linked says "Australian nationals and foreign citizens with Australian residency in Western Australia who wish to apply for a visa to visit Thailand are requested to send the application, together with relevant documents, to the Royal Thai Embassy in Canberra", but there is no harm in inquiring from from an honorary consulate in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, etc whether they will accept the visa application. I suspect that most will accept it.

Agreed. OP It might be good to try Hobart, a smaller state .. http://www.thaiconsulatehobart.com/ quicker turnaround??

I notice the following on their web site which is better than 10 days/3 weeks...a prepaid registered satchel would be required.

3. Your completed Visa will be returned to you within 7-working days (Assuming Visa is completely correctly, payment is received and application is approved)

Was just asking if anyone from Perth has done the process, have read the web site from the Royal Thai Embassay and got the downloads etc

thanks for your replies anyway,

will go and ask the local Thai association for any assistance they may be able to give

My visas usually come through very quickly.. particularly with an express post city to city package.

Good luck!

thanks Edwin, my local travel agent had moved jobs and just found her again she said that their office can help with the application but will ring the embassay and got the information etc so that I am fully informed

Minor correction. Sydney is an official Thai consulate not an honorary.
