Visa Question again

[true66]

Can someone tell me the best way if I need to get a visa please. I am sure this would have come up before but not sure were to find it.

I got an Australian passport, and intend to be most of time in Thailand. I be over for six weeks.

My query is.....On Oz passport get 30 days without getting a visa. My airline ticket will show return after 6 weeks, but I intend to fly to Cambodia before 4 weeks and fly back in to Thailand thus getting another 30 days covering the rest of my stay.

Would I have a problem at Australian a/port when I check in, or when I arrive in Thailand?

I been to Thailand several times but usually leave withing 30 days. I once made a visa for 2 months as I stayed for 6 weeks without going out.

If I can do this trip without getting the visa from Oz makes it more easy on my behalf.

Thanking you for good advice.

You should buy your ticket to Cambodia to before leaving OZ. That way you will have a ticket out of the country within 30 days of arrival.

The airlines are the ones that will ask for a ticket out of the country within 30 days of arrival. Immigration does not ask for it.

Thank you for your reply Ubonjoe. I taught of getting tickets for Cambodia before I leave, but I am going with friend/s from Thailand and not sure the exact day that we be going. That part was for when I arrive there and organize and get the tickets from Thailand. I have to try and see if I can organize the flights from here or if a better way I can do it.

If you want to visit Cambodia that's fine, but if you're only doing it to get another 30 days, you could get an additional 30 days by applying for an extension of stay at an immigrations office in Thailand. You would go in sometime during the last week of your initial 30 day stay, fill out the form, etc, pay Baht 1900 and they'll add 30 days onto your first 30 days without the need to leave the country.

Thank you Suradit69. My concern is that my booking for Thailand is for 6 weeks. I am not sure when I get to airport to leave from Australia the airline (Jetstar) would want me to have a visa, otherwise they might not let me board.

I intend to go to Cambodia, and I taught having to get a visa is a waste of time and money as my intention is to be out from Thailand for a few days before my allowable 30 days.

Best to get the visa (or make a definete plan with your friends regarding the date you will fly to Cambodia and make the booking).

Another option is to get a cheap ticket out of Thailand with a price fighter like Airasia and not use it.

Why not apply for the thai visa online in Australia before you leave?
