Hey folks, this one is slightly off topic … is the Aussie consulate in Bangkok open for face to face business? (my partner needs to check the status of her online visitor visa application, the website does not address her specific questions, and the phone enquiry wait time is forever)

If anyone here has visited the Australian consulate recently, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.

Thanks

ATTENTION MEMBERS:

(Especially US, UK & Australian ones)

Everyone knows the news is out, the US and UK consulate will STOP issuing affidavit of income from abroad notary letters at the end of this year AND the Australian consulate will stop issuing Stat Dec notaries for income on the 7th of January 2019.

DO NOT post another thread about it. We have deleted 15-20 threads so far.

At this time <- meaning right now today, there are NO new provisions to meet the financial requirements for marriage, being over 50 (retirement) or raising half-thai children (the only extensions which would accept the affidavit of income notary letters).

While I am sure the immigration office WILL come up another way to meet the financial requirements (other than straight banked money) at this time they haven't.

I can't see any reason to let topics run wild with speculation on what they will or won't do until they actually come out with something official. Sorry.

What we do know is that after Dec 12th you can't apply for the UK consulate notary affidavit AND after Dec 31st you can't apply for the US consulate one. <- Those things are not up for discussion, they are facts :(

It appears that the consulate letters are still valid for 6 months from the date they're issued (meaning that police order has NOT been rescinded). What is not clear is whether letters issued BEFORE the end of the year will be accepted AFTER the new year or not (for the 6 months they are valid). I'm sure we'll find out soon.

FWIW: I go out to the immigration office EVERY Thursday (because I like the food court there ;) ) and I will check every time I go to see if there is any update on anything.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding during this difficult time. I will leave this thread open for discussion BUT if it gets crazy I'll shut it right down, okay? Keep it civil and keep it ON TOPIC.

Will a letter from the Australian Consulate validating a letter from my Superannuation saying I'm entitled to draw a Pension higher than the 800,000 Bht be suffice to maintain my Non O Visa .?

Being fleecing by exchange fees is doing my head in .

Hi all.

Looking at getting an METV from Australia. We leave to Thailand in six days. So next Saturday. The consulate says processing is a MINIMUM of 2 working days. Wondering if anyone has any experience in whether the METV visa is a quick turnaround in Australia? Also do they send your passport off to Thailand or just take a photograph of it?

Cheers

Hi All, I have to go to the Australian Consulate in Bangkok to get verification of Identification, for Real estate documents for Australia , read on Koh Samui site. They don't offer this service. Have gone though the Australian Consulate Bangkok website, trying to find info if I need to make an appointment to have documents signed/witness. Can't find that info on site? Can anyone help me please.
