that is why I am prepared to do the "border bounce" - get my health insurance renewed, get stamped in for another 365 days, get the re-entry permit, return to Australia. then back to Chiang Mai. and things return to the way they are currently (I hope).
- My first year of OA visa expires on 28 February. I am then returning to Australia in March for my daughter's wedding. March will then be in my second year so I am of the understanding that I will require a re-entry permit.
thanks Brandon - I am aware of the health insurance renewal and the need for a re-entry permit. I hope to have the health insurance renewed by the beginning of February, then do the "border bounce" mid-February and then get the re-entry permit before I leave in early March.
