I think the issue is the aussie govt wont let it’s (“free”) people out of the country.

Not house arrest, maybe country arrest.

my point is the embassy may tell him (when and if they go there) you are looking for him and he may be able to give permission. So be sure you provide all your info

I got a DL on a visa exempt.

E mail the embassy. This way they will have your e mail address. (Also provide your full name. )

This is what i did looking for my friend. They told me the same info. Need his permission. A few weeks later he e mailed me directly. So apparently the embassy passed on the info.

Maybe they will do the same for you, or maybe he can give them permission if they do speak to him.

My friend had a life sentence. After 9-11 years he was sent back to the usa. (He was free when I talked to him)

they were probably always making money with cargo. Passengers are probably the gravy.

No idea. But start your own business and then transition to it. That should be possible.

Yeah. I bet oct 2021 will be gtg. I bet they (the world) will be tired, and broke enough to resume life as usual.

People die. It is sad but it is life. Better we live life while we can.

sorry. This was 1.5 years ago. I dont have it.

Go to immigration, ask for the form. They will provide it.

I got a med visa last year. (I had a real

Medical condition, i am not suggesting you dont)

The doctor filled out an “official” form asking immigration to grant me a med visa. Bkk doc. I live in chiang mai.

Cnx immigration wanted a different form. (They actually wanted me to use a cnx doc. I kinda just said the bkk doc was the best. Better than any cnx doc for what i needed. )I brought that form to the doc. Doc said “this is the same form i sent”

I think it had the same info/request. But different.

My response, “doc, could you please fill out the new form. I know it is the same? But this is thailand”. Ha ha ha. No shit. I said that. He chuckled.

New form in hand. Immigration granted me a 90 day visa on the spot, No problem.

My form was different than yours
