OK now you are confusing me. There is a visa on arrival that you pay for when you arrive to Thailand and there is a 30 exemption of a visa....This means you have permission to stay in Thailand for 30 days with no visa....Which one do you have..?

Bangkok. OK. NO onward flight is required for a 30 day extension. 100% sure. 1 Photo and TM7 form and copies of passport, Arrival card and entry stamp.

Just get a bus to one of the borders (depends where you are) from Pattaya to Cambofia, it leaves in the morning and back mid afternoon.

extend at immigration for 30 days..?....No not needed....60 day Tourist visa or 30 visa exemption....?? if in Pattaya you will need TM30.

They changed the law in 2009 to assess each person as a resident or NON resident.....if assessed as a resident you pay tax on any working income you make anywhere in the world.

If work, live and paid in Oz as a resident you get full tax but you get a tax free threshold. If NON resident, work and paid from outside outside of the country for 180 days of the year. Then you pay no income tax and get no tax free threshold (I believe in UK you still get this) and no superannuation. All NON resident income (ie rental)originating in Oz is charged at 32.5 % from the first dollar and goes up above a certain amount.......but why would you want to pay 47% income tax if living and working outside of Australia.....Biggest thing I miss I suppose is the superannuation payments....but then when you go to use them later....they are taxed too.....I am way better off on an expat salary and tax free....I will make my own tax free retirement.
