@Paul ******

no not at all.. nothing notarised and that was the issue with my company license.. “where’s the stamp, not official”

Australian embassies state they do not notarise documents or provide residency confirmation on their sites. In the country we use “justice of the peace” to certify documents. (citizens who volunteer and register to notarise documents) but an Australian in Asia what would the options be 🤔

I explained all of this and pointed out that the certificate is from the official registration office, on official letter head and that it is accepted through out australia as registration.

States the ABN and ACN and registered company name (Australian business number and Australian company number)

They highlighted all those numbers and the supervisor accepted it.

Yes we went through every transaction related to my income or deposited. My references vary for my income and they were convinced it wasn’t all the same company.

I have rental properties also and they questioned why the reference/descriptions varied.

I’ve been popping Xanax since yesterday morning waiting for now such a painful wait for you!!

But it sounds like as long as it’s all foreign income it’s ok, that seemed to be their main concern.

I heard you while I was waiting, They told everyone today who paid to come back Friday 4pm.

I applied yesterday and would have got it the same day as did others but they took me into an office yesterday and drilled me on my bank statements. (take that employment contract you mentioned and anything you think they may want)

In the office we went through all my bank statements and confirmed it was all income from the same company no income from Thailand. They also had an issue with my company license (ASIC certificate-australia)

I managed to talk through and explain everything they were very nice about it then told me to come back today 4pm and was approved... but it would be something similar good luck!!!

Anonymous participant Oh what an awful situation for you. Sorry to see. 😱

Mine was Australian bank statements equivalent to 500,000b - keep in mind they could use a slightly lower exchange rate (e.g now it’s 22.5b = $1aud - they calculated at 20.5b in Taipei)

Anonymous participant Very helpful information, Thanks for updating! - do know if the lease would need to be in Bangkok or could it be another province?

Anonymous participant You just need to do a search in this group “Vientiane” you can try if you want, but Vientiane is getting more strict.. I’m in Taipei right now for that reason. (Funds not in my bank long enough for Vientiane according to other stories on here.)

Anonymous participant you need to demonstrate that you’ve had the funds for 6 months and still do. Your payslips wouldn’t state that.

like yours? I think it’s common sense what the question implied. It’s a dtv group 🤣

should be able to get a residence certificate at immigration after 90 days on the Visa you’d need a lease, signed copy of the owners ID (or if you own a condo, those documents) along with the TM.30

All the immigration offices vary from what they want from you, but it should be obtainable on this Visa

But yes, as you said, many people are being turned away just based on the Visa type
