ORIGINAL POSTERhai all,I am arriving in Thailand in 2 weeks time from Australia hopefully on a non O visa to stay for 3 years if it arrives in time.Otherwise I'll reapply from Thailand.My question is are there any particular Australian Government agencies that I need to inform of my plans?Thanks.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is planning to move to Thailand on a non O visa for a duration of 3 years and inquires about notifying any Australian Government agencies regarding their departure. Commenters mention that the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) may be informed and highlight the importance of notifying Services Australia, especially if the user is receiving a pension.
