cardholder Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Anyone have any recent experience of processing times in Canberra (or Sydney) for Non-Imm 'O' visa applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) I suggest you use one of the honorary consulates to get you visa. They normally give faster service than embassies and official consulates (Sydney is one). Contact info for honorary consulates can be found here. http://canberra.thaiembassy.org/consulate.html Edited March 21, 2013 by ubonjoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is for a friend who is going back to Perth for 6 weeks in May. Hopefully, the new office will be up and running AND issuing visas. If not he may need to deal by post with, say, Sydney. Do you know what timescale he could expect ? He is concerned about the visa not being issued in the 6 weeks he is back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Six weeks is plenty of time to get the visa. I suggest he do a mail in to Brisbane instead of Sydney. Also make him aware he does not want to get visa to early because the validity period of visa starts on date of issue.

ubonjoe Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Failed to mention it before but primary reason for not getting visa from the embassy or Syndey is that they will not issue a non-o for retirement because they will only do the OA visa.
