Why wouldn’t you just do the visa on arrival for 30 days & pay 1900bht for a 30 day extension while your here? So easy to do.

I have done this many times. I’m Australian too!

@Viola *******
can you be more specific please? Is this the TM30 you receive from your hotel? Or something else?
Cimi ******
Where are you coming from? Are you talking about a non visa exemption stamp for 30 days all depending on your nationality. You can do a boarder bounce in a day & pay for a 30 day extension once your in Thailand.

I did it recently at the Malaysian border. Hat Yai. to Pedang Besar.

Hello! I’m Australian… I bought an airplane ticket just before my 30 day stamp expired, & had it refunded to me after I cancelled it hours before the flight. Bought a ticket to Malaysia on Hopper)

However I was not asked at the airport on arrival for proof of exit.

But it’s a good idea to cover yourself as it is an entry requirement.

@Stuart ********
thankyou for your confirmation. I have had very conflicting reports.

Difficult to find the correct information.

Have you had this experience in Penang personally?

If you are flying into Thailand from Australia there is NO need to show bank statement with this Visa.

I’ve done this many times before.

@John ******
I’m sorry my terminology was not correct. Visa exemption is the correct terminology.
