METV (6 months) likely avoid less questions although I was still asked once 2+ years back for proof of exit at BKK which would normally be an airline request if any. It’ll give you 60 days each trip with option to extend 30 days per entry so could actually work out to c9months.

took up to a week from application if I remember correctly
Might be worth just booking a cheap flight to neighbouring country (Cambodia used to be cheap but Vietnam looks cheapest from my quick checks) as proof of onward travel (throw away or pay the extra for cancellation) about 80AUD but can be less - book yer real flight back to Aus when you want
Paul - thanks for your commentary irrelevant of what others say - it’s good to share info, folks can decide what choices to make with a little more info. Good luck bud
is rather let folks know what I’ve done than guess mate. I see too many folks giving “experience” here that actually have never personally experienced shit. Hope that helps fella
