Advice On Visa For 6 Month Stay

[Cinders]

Hi,

I'm from the UK and I'm currently living in Sydney. I'm planning on going to Thailand on holiday around the 5th of April and I don't have to be back in Sydney until Sep/Oct.

I know when you enter Thailand they stamp your passport and you only get 30 days. I'd like to stay ideally for around 6 months. What type of Visa would I need and how would I go about getting it?... Do I need to visit the Thai embassy in Sydney?...

Any help is appreciated.

Matt.

Go to the Royal Thai Consulate-General 131 Macquarie St Sydney and apply for two entries of a tourist visa $90 is the fee. That enables 2 X 60 day stays. Each entry also enables a 30 day extension. With one border crossing that gives you your 6 month stay.

Yep, a double entry tourist is the way to go.
