Actually some offices allow 45 days prior so the technical date is November 27th if they got it on the 1st day and use such an office.

My immigration office (Phuket) still have no information about what might be required.

Sorry I don’t. Search this forum for Canberra and see if others have posted wait times.

No information as yet.

People overstay in Thailand (whether accidentally or intentionally) all the time. If they get to the airport and pay the fine there is generally no repercussions returning to Thailand.

Some reports of people who have applied for visas for other countries but denied because of an overstay stamp from Thailand but returning to Thailand is usually not an issue.

Just dont do it repeatedly.

If in Phuket you can go to Thanyapura for allergy tests.

No. It’s been postponed. Perhaps sometime next year. Perhaps not.

Paying $40 for a tourist visa is completely unnecessary. You’ll get a free stamp visa exempt on arrival.

Paying an agent, to get a $40 visa is just madness.

Using the evisa system (that Canberra uses) you apply for the principle first and then apply for the spouse once it has been received.

Depends on the immigration office you use. Some might require a filing of the TM28 form, but most just use the TM30 now as address notification.

The evisa system routes your application to the embassy or consulate that serves the state you live in. You do not go to the actual embassy or consulate. It is all done online. Your visa is sent to you as a PDF attachment. You print that to show immigration on arrival.
