If he goes through Immigration before 11:59pm, OK; if he goes through after 12:01am, not OK.

I have helped my Thai partner to apply for a few Australian visas over the years. The procedure is a little tedious, however you do not need an agent. Firstly, your friend must create an Immi account. After that, there’s the online application. She should probably apply for a VISITOR (subclass 600) visa. The process will include submitting the usual Passport scan, Thai ID, payslips, employment letter, bank statements, credit card details, etc. After submitting the online application, she will receive an e-mail with instructions to attend an authorised facility to submit biometric data (fingerprints and face/retina scan). There may also be follow up e-mails, requesting additional scanned documents. Again, the process is not difficult (especially with your help), but very tedious. Note that it is important to make no mistakes in the application. Below are a few links to help get started. Good luck.

PS - I forgot to mention, your friend should login to her Immi account frequently, to check the application status and for further information/scan requests (occasionally e-mails can get lost).

Yes, the batteries must be carried. For limits, check your chosen airline’s website, as most have very clear rules.

Your girlfriend can apply online via the Australian Embassy website (in fact the Australian government prefers this method). Click on VISA AND CITIZENSHIP INFORMATION and follow the bouncing ball. She will need to set up an account and attend an office in Bangkok to submit bio information. There is of course an application fee, and quite strict requirements to demonstrate (bank statements, employment, etc). The process is a little tedious, and she’ll need your help. Good luck.

Of course, there are other clues like the date stamp (which I always check very carefully).

Sorry, I wasn’t very clear. You mentioned “two months” (though your 90 days was correct). If the poster waits two months to seek an extension, he’ll already be over-staying. Converting

/3 months catches people out. 30 days is not 1 month. I am aware of many people over-staying by one or two days, based on this false rule-of-thumb. This poster’s visa clearly states 60 days.
