Family yes friends no. Perhaps she has family here that are here on extensions of stay. Parents or children is not a problem.

I just obtained a 1-yr, multiple entry non-immigrant "O" visa for visiting family in Thailand at the Thai Consulate in Brisbane. As usual, a seamless and friendly service.

I needed the following;

* copy of marriage certificate

* copy of wife's signed Thai ID card

* copy of wife's house registration (tabien ban)

* payment of AUD225

I did not require any bank statements.

If you apply before 11am they issue the visa the same day, otherwise they will express mail you your passport + visa which is what I did.

You can also express mail your application and passport and bank cheque to the Thai Consulate from elsewhere in Australia and have it returned to you if you include a self-addressed express mail envelope. Address is

Royal Thai Consulate General

87 ANNERLEY ROAD,

South Brisbane QLD 4101

Australia

Phone:+61 7 3846 7771

Thank you for your report. I has been a while since we had one about Brisbane.

I have just had 2 Multiple Entry Non Immigrant O visas issued from the Thai Consulate in Brisbane. Purpose of visit: long stay.

I needed to send:

2 application forms

2 passports

2 photos

Copy of flight itinerary (which I had been told need not be a return flight ticket)

1 bank statement from our joint account showing that we had 10000 AUD in the account

Money Order to the value of AUD 225 x 2 = 450

Self Addressed prepaid envelope for return of passports

I posted the items to Brisbane on a Tuesday and they were returned to me in Cairns by the next Tuesday.

Pretty impressive.

The Brisbane Consulate is an excellent place to achieve a Non-O. I have received 2 Non-O's, just abide by their requirements. The first time I applied I did not have that correct documentaiton and a lady from Consulate kindly telephoned me and asked me to correct the application. Where there are diffulict places to apply for an Non-O Brisbane is excellent provided you meet their simple requirements.

Assuming that one visa was for you, for whom was the second visa?

One was for me yes, the other was for my husband (British)

Brisbane consulate is closed at this time.
