Hi Everyone

I'm applying for my non O 90 day from Australia.

Q. It asks for my arrival date but then asks my departure date? I'm intending on retiring to Thailand so I have no departure date. What should I put?

Q. When asking for my accommodation details, I'm intending to only stay in hotel for 2/3 weeks whilst looking for a permanent place. Is it ok to put accommodation for only 2 weeks here?

TIA
Answer summary
The user is applying for a non O 90-day visa from Australia and is unsure about filling out the departure date and accommodation details. Comments from the community suggest leaving the departure date blank since it's a 90-day visa and recommending that a hotel stay of 2 to 3 weeks is adequate. Additionally, several users emphasize that it's acceptable to put short-term accommodation and that immigration will usually require formal notification only if renting in a business capacity.

Book a one way ticket from BKK to malaysia or phu quoc about 3 days before 90 days are over. Doesnt cost much

Hi

Don’t put departure date

If you’re paying for accommodation the business or landlord must inform immigration via a F30 form ( this is generally done online)

It's a 90 day visa. Put a departure date within 90 days of your proposed arrival.

First hotel should be fine.
