@James *******

But no problem getting back into Thailand. ??

@Peter ********

yeah

Just do 60 day tourist visa on line

When you post passport, use registered post

Easy.

@Tod ********

How long does the 800,000 baht need to be in the Thai bank account ?

Does this money have to remain in the account for the duration of the visa ?

Thanks 🙏

@James *******

No

Neither !

@James *******

Thanks James

I love Thailand

Your advice would be appreciated

Thank you 🙏

@Alex ***

I am planning to have 9 months in Thailand

@Bernie ******

I only entered the flight Sydney to Bangkok

If you are unsure, do as I did, email Sydney embassy

Allow 2 days for an answer

I applied for visa online, was approved within 2 days

Posted passport and all required documents to Sydney in Express Post bag and also sent return Express post bag , addressed by myself, one week all returned

Don’t forget $60 money order !

@Bernie ******

I got a 60 day visa in Australia

I emailed Thai Embassy in Sydney and they said I did not need to show a return flight .

I arrived Thailand December 21 and was not asked to show return flight at any stage of my journey

Thanks Kevin

I read about these onward tickets a while back, but had completely forgotten about them

So I can use one these return tickets to get my visa, and also to show the airline when leaving my country ??
