What is the easiest way to travel from Pattaya to Cambodia?

@David **********

Sihanoukville is a shithole but it's where you need to go to get to Koh Rong, which is stunning. Kep is boring and the beach is crap, Kampot is a much better choice despite it being a riverside town and not coastal.

Can my wife with a visitor subclass 600 visa stay in Australia beyond April 12, 2025?

Darren *******

If she arrives on, for example, 1 April 2025 then she can stay for 3 months from that date.

I can't remember what subclass visa I had for Australia but mine expired on 3 Oct 2024. Exactly same conditions re 3 months per entry. I landed on 30 Sep and left yesterday, 5 Oct. No problems entering or leaving.

@Lynnette ******

I'm not confused at all, you're the one who is confused and clearly has no idea on how residency works from a tax perspective.
