Countries share passport data, I got a non o EVisa in Australia when I arrived and scanned my passport I just had to put my finger on the scanner,, and he put the 90 days stamp on my passport

We composite all our fresh food waste in a shallow trench in one bed, 15cm deep, bury and cover, as it goes along, I then transfer all the seeds that sprout, I have had capsicum, chilli, pumpkin, tomatoes, bell peppers, apples, oranges lemons. All sprout, biggest problem is space to grow them to harvest

Have a look for the EVisa 90 days visiting family. I got mine online in 3 days. A little bit of data required, I used one of my wife's relatives as a reference, a scanned copy of a bank statement, and pay by Visa. Very easy to do

I entered yesterday immigration didn't ask for onward booking, not being biased, but I suggest if you are reasonably well dressed and polite, they won't even ask. They have been criticised lately for the long queues at immigration, so they are pushing the crowds through

Just check it's not an EVisa, if so their will be an email somewhere with the details.

Easy to do, I use an app called TripIt to save all my travel in. On a couple of occasions where I have been asked for my onward plans I have used the app, as it details flights etc. also, just a hint. If you buy EVisas for Lao and Cambodia, make sure you print out copies as well, as a common con at customs is they will charge US$5 because "the machine is broken", and make sure you have your entry stamped in. I got caught leaving Cambodia because, while I had a Visa. They hadn't stamped me in. us$200 "fine" for being in the country illegally. One of the many cons by immigration to get bribes. Plus Cambodia only takes new US Noted. Get small denomination as they never have change!!!

Further to what Brandon says, buys a full price ticket from the airline, that way there is usually no cancellation fee. Don't get a refund until you have cleared immigration in Thailand

mate I am open to that, but as I said we are retired, we have a granny flat agreement and Jetstar or scoot offer $200 fare to Thailand, why not, A taxi to the airport cost $150 even though we go on the train. My point was their seems to be no set rules, and why should we sit a 11c temperatures in Victoria paying $60 a week heating bills when we can be in Thailand for $200 and no big bills. I have had 60 years of paying taxes, so it's nice to claw a bit back occasionally. Plus I don't write the laws, I just abide by them and claim what they say I can claim

It seems to be the luck of the draw, we live in Aus, are both retired and get the pension with some extras. We visit Thailand regularly, taking advantage of cheap fares that sometimes pop up. Often we find. The rent assistance allowance stops, or they cancel our pension card, or concessions we get for power or gas, stop. Then a week after we get home, we get letters saying we have to apply for the power concession again. Or a new pension card arrives in the mail. Last trip in November nothing was stopped after 8 weeks away. We are off again on Saturday for a couple of months so will be interested to see what happens this time. I never tell them I'm leaving, as I usually get a MyGov message an hour after going through immigration.
