My contract didn't state remote work and Sydney asked for a new contract stating remote work, approved after I sent a new contract. I did send payslips and bank statements to match, but I was not asked to.

I have just applied and received my DTV from Sydney. Remote worker, I work on ships doing 6 week trips, they needed it written in my employment contract that I was working remotely. Being a seafarer you are working very remotely.

In Korat they issue the resident cert in the same office as you do the TM30 notification of residence. Is this were you asked. It's on the left as you arrive.

Why are people concerned about the TDAC, if it's anything like the Singapore, Malaysian, Taiwan system it will mean arrivals a departures will be hassle free with no interaction with immigration officers. Unless of course you are playing the system.

Hi Mate, I did my visa in Savannakhet in December last year. My money had been in my account for more than 2 months. The document I followed stated something along the lines, that the 400k had to be in your account on the day of application, or the equivalent of 400k in an overseas account in your name. I'm trying to find that document at the moment, but I'm assuming that things have changed, and I should have kept my mouth shut. Have a good Songkran.

no just take your bank book and copies of the account details page, and the page showing greater than 400k
