Given the overwhelming variation in experiences and outcomes in these matters I’m finding it difficult to understand why the conversation is even being had🤔

@Graham *****

Where did I say it was???😮NK's comment suggested the incident may have been a factor in the fee increases in March. 🤔 I was just pointing out that the incident actually happened immediately prior to the fee increases, not 7 months ago, so clearly had no connection. If embassies/consulates raised visa costs every time a farang behaved badly you'd need to win the lottery to afford to buy one🤣

@Nongnuch *******

How would an incident that happened a day or so prior to the announced fee increase on 19th March impacted that decision🤫

@Максим *********

He's referring to the other visa costs which were increased in March. My Non Imm O that I'll get next year, would've cost me NZ$120 but now it's NZ$800😲

@Martin ********

Maybe they need to buy an abacus on Lazada🤣

@Sandra ********

assist the immigration officer by having your passport open to the page with your visa and check the stamp before walking away.

Best to contact the pension administrators Dept of Social Services in Oz or check their website.

That's funny coming from someone called Greta Guy😂😂😂

Well why make a post encouraging them then😂
