well not at all during covid!

Before that x 3 per years

A month or 2 weeks per visit

Been going for a couple of decades

Discovered it late after regular Bali trips.

I would consider living there half the year when retired.

Love everything.

The culture the food the sense of humour beaches massages weather shopping etc

How hard is the test please?

@Michael ******

yep

Thai embassy said check with your airlines.

So clearly not an issue with Thailand

And Jetstar said those documents are not something they require.

You are not reading my posts carefully. I was asking for clear details and procedures from / re Thai authorities . It seems to be regarding departing airlines not Thai authorities.

This was their response.

Hi,

Please kindly contact with the airline for their requirement.

Kind regards

Visa and Consular Services

Royal Thai Embassy, Canberra.

Overrreaction much.

Again- noone is advocating child custodial kidnapping .

However if the extra paperwork is not required in/ from Australia ,there it is.

@Philip *********

yes but for Australians travelling as per usual with return tickets valid passports and no international parental custody disputes this is not something we have been asked to provide in the past so it does not mean we dont care about kidnapping !!!but would , of course like to know about this before checkin m. FYI Jetstar airlines ( Australia) say they don’t have any info on this and dont require it .

Calm the farm .

Noone is minimising kidnapping issues.

Yes I realise there is an issue of custodial infringements and unlawful movement of children by a parent etc.

I simply seek clarification as to whether this is a new Thai protocol for incoming passengers of all nationalities or for children of a Thai parent.

If it has never been asked for before this is something I would like details on as its not required for leaving Australia -according to Jetstar airlines anyway.

Also details regarding exactly which protocols and forms need to be presented either entering Thailand or whatever would be great.

No fly orders cover this situation re custodial battles between parents with different residential status or passports in Australia

Ok

So you are saying this rule applies to children who have one Thai parent ?

I am asking re Australian children

Jetstar just confirmed not needed to board flight in Australia. So is this new rule just for boarding and/or upon arrival in Thailand ?

@Tez *****

so you are saying that if we depart fromAustralia like the last few trips having only one parent on the trip is ok?
