Wallich Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 With the Thai Consul in Brisbane now closed and no indication when it will re-open, what is the process to get a new Non Immigrant O - M twelve month Visa? I have obtained Visa's from Brisbane for over six years.Can I get the same twelve month Visa from another neighboring Country rather than having to visit Australia? Many thanks for any responses.

nzexpat Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Suspect you will experience difficulty in securing a multi- entry "O" visa for the purpose of retirement. An O/A visa could be obtained from the Thai embassy which would provide a one year stay (2 years if used to best effect) Edited May 27, 2015 by nzexpat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 You might be able to get one in Penang if you can prove 800k baht in the bank or 65k baht income. But of course with the same financial proof you could apply for a one year extension of stay at an immigration office. You could check with the other honorary consulates in Hobart, Perth, Adelaide or Melbourne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallich Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 Thanks for replies so far. Response to the question from the Thai Embassy in Canberra: 'Royal Thai Embassy Canberra issues Non-immigration O visa only for single entry.' I do not want a 'retirement' Visa and associated financial issues. Puzzles me that there must be hundreds of foreigners like me, that used the Consulate in Brisbane, yet no noise!

nzexpat Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Perhaps you (and others) were "lucky" in having a "friendly" Hon.Consulate for so long ! It is going to be difficult identify another such "friendly" source of "Non Immigrant O - M" Visas If you do not wish to bother with "financial" issues the options are are limited to tourist visas or single entry "NON O" visas. You should however, as ubonjoe suggested, first check with the remaining Thai honorary consulates in Australia.
