halloween Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Consulate closed since 25/3/15, re-opening date TBA. TYVM, just about to return for 6 months after same working, and no way to get a visa in time. Vientiane looking good, do they do a double entry type-O?

ubonjoe Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 The closure of the consulate has been discussed in another topic. There is no 2 entry non-o visa. Only single and multiple entry visas are issued. What would your non-o be based upon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a Thai live-in g/f last 10 years. 2x Type O issued in Brisbane and elsewhere, last issued to me 5 Aug 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 That sounds more like a 2 entry tourist visa than a non-o visa. Unless you are 50 or over you do not qualify for a non-o visa according to the info you provided. Other than reports of Melbourne doing a 2 entry about 3 years ago I have not heard of any non immigrant visa being issued other that a single or multiple entry for several years.

Visa is definitely type O double entry purchased for AU$180. Last few years I have been working 6 months in oz, 6 in Thailand, but shortened break last trip to re-align seasons here.

ubonjoe Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Perhaps Brisbane did the 2 entry because you wanted it. But it is not normally done. For 45 more ASD you could of gotten a multiple entry visa valid for a year that can give you almost 15 months of total stay. See the visa fees list for Canberra and you will only see single and multiple entry visas mentioned. http://canberra.thaiembassy.org/doc/info/VISA%20FEE1.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomtomtom69 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Why do they always temporarily close Thai consulates in Australia when a consul leaves his/her post? Wouldn't it be better if they advertised for a new consul BEFORE they made the closure? What a dumb thing to do, just close a consulate in a major city and leave all the locals who need visas stranded. I've never heard about this happening in any other country.
