How difficult is it for a Thai national to obtain a tourist visa for a short-term stay in Australia?

Stephen *******

What would they have to gain by tampering with visa requests. They are paid a commission on handling the paperwork and liaising with clients in the local language prior to submission to the embassies. They are paid if you pass or fail. I don't get it?

Google around. There is an excellent Web site somewhere that has the whole process spelt out for Aussies wanting to sponsor a Thai for an Oz visa.

Crooks in what sense? They only act as agents for the embassies.

Is it safe to get a re-entry visa at Suvarnabhumi Airport instead of at immigration?

Stephen *******

I've got one 3 times at BKK with no problems. Make sure you have a photo as sometimes the photo machine is broken and they send you back outside to get one. Usually they just do everything for a 200 baht compulsory fee. It's up to you to weigh up the risk of it not being available and losing your permission to stay vs time at immigration.

What are the main corrections needed for the Thailand visa article on NON-O marriage visas and METV re-entry permits?

Stephen *******

Technically they are incorrect because it doesn't mention during the validity period. It gives a blanket statement that there is no need for a re-entry permit when one may be required during the final stay previously mentioned in the article. Anyway I just think it needs clarification. But up to you.

Stephen *******

They explicitly state: "There’s no need to get a re-entry permit for an METV." This needs clarification don't you think?

Stephen *******

Their O-A advice is wrong. Bank funds are in home country bank. The income letter doesn't require an affidavit. Also METV need a reentry permit during the final extension. I didn't read the whole thing. There may be more errors.

Can I get a re-entry stamp on an ED visa while visiting family in KL?

At immigration always. At the airport 99% of the time.
