Any Aussie had any luck applying for a tourist eVisa?

I fill out the 1st page selecting single entry and then get this error.

The ‘Number of Entries’ you selected is currently not available for request.

I can't get past this error?

Cheers

Craig

TLDR : Answer Summary

Aussies are encountering issues while trying to apply for a tourist eVisa for Thailand, specifically an error message regarding the number of entries selected. Users clarify that the eVisa option won't be available until March 19, based on comments from the Sydney consulate. Additionally, there are questions about applying for the eVisa while already in Thailand, with responses indicating that applicants must be outside of Thailand and show proof of departure in their application. Discussions also touch on potential price increases and concerns about using a VPN for application submissions.

Has the price for your visa gone up? In NZ it's increasing from $60 to $300.

They haven’t confirmed pricing as yet. I suspect it will rise in line with NZ but we haven’t had confirmation as yet.

I would use a VPN and try! I would not be surprised if it didn't work. You must fulfill the requierements of course. But a flight ticket is easy to show. Make sure the date fits though!

A VPN is not going to make any difference. The system itself doesn’t care where you are in the world. The system routes your application to the embassy/consulate you choose and they are the one who go through the application and process it.

Question…can I apply for one online even though I’m an Aussie already in Thailand? Then present it when I re-enter at airport on my next Visa run?

No. it doesn’t work that way. You’d need to show flights from Aus to Thailand as part of the application process. You need to be in the country (or at least area for places like Europe) to apply.

ah ok .... thanks. Now I'm in 2 minds. My flight is 6th April. 19th March might be too close to my trip.

Yeah. Turn around times are embassy/consulate specific. Until they go live we’re not going to know what Aussie ones are going to be like. London is about 3-5 days. LA is sometimes around 2 weeks.
