On arrival to Thailand, you need to register your address with Pattaya Immigration within 24 to 36 hours, in soi 5 Jomtien. To do that you need your rental agreement, copies of your passport and pages, fill out the form. Once you get the TM30 receipt, you apply for a residence cert which costs 300 baht. You can use the resident cert to get a licence (with a medical cert), buy a vehicle and open a bank account. It is valid for 30 days. If you intend to be a NON resident of Australia for tax purposes, you should visit a good accountant and get them to notify the ATO on your behalf that you will be leaving Oz and a non resident. You must also be paid from outside of Australia and it is recommended to be into a foreign account. It also helps to rent out any property in Oz, not have any bills in your name, and even sell vehicles if you want to legit.

Some reports yes, and some reports no. How's that for an answer ;)

Search the group for the many many posts of the same question you have ;)

Search the site and read all of the posts and info. Don't ask the same question as many many before you ;)

You usually don't need an onward ticket or return ticket when you arrive. But you might need it before you check in to leave your home country ;)

I NEVER go to any females...!!!

It is actually up to immigration, not customs ;) and yes a proper visa is recommended.

Nope. 'Officially' No limit

No. Only 2 visits in a year. That is unlikely to attract attention.

@Dustin ********

That is good for you, but what happens to you has absolutely zero reference to what may happen to someone else with a history of stays in Thailand.
