Robert Merrell absolute rubbish! 500 Baht per day fine up to a maximum of 20k Baht. Bans from entering aren't issues unless the overstay is 90 days or more. Then, the ban at that point is 1 year. The exception to that, I believe, is maybe if the individual is arrested while on overstay.

Darren Hill ask about phone number in a separate post is my suggestion, as there's cheaper options than keeping your phone number on a plan with a major Australian Telco. If you're not already a member, consider joining the "Australians in Thailand" Facebook group. If you search that group, there will be plenty of past posts where that subject is discussed.

Darren Hill already? Did I assume correctly? There might be other Government Agencies, but I'm not sure. ATO possibly, but I don't know at this time myself.

Val Zahup I know that, but with not even the type of Non-O Visa provided by the OP, if you noticed, I said that I will "assume two things" so I could provide one answer if my assumptions based on insufficient information were correct.

Two weeks before arriving in Thailand and you're only just thinking about that question? You're leaving it a bit late.

You didn't specify which Non-O that you've applied for. You haven't said how old you are, so I'm going to assume two things, so that it might answer part of your question.

If you've applied for a Non-O based on 'Retirement' and you're receiving the Aged Pension, or soon will, you'll need to inform Centrelink

Si Cooper it doesn't matter if someone is using an alternative ID, nickname, or posts anonymously, Admin and Moderators can see the real name and profile of anyone in the group, or anyone who participates in it.

Robert G Viset you're telling someone that you don't know, that they're arrogant? Maybe that's you, because if you cared to do a bit of research, you will find out that words and phrases quite often don't translate exactly from one language to another and allowances should be made for that. It doesn't matter what you use to translate either, Google might translate something slightly different to another translator - I've done it myself. Then, instead of arrogantly criticising someone that speaks a different language to yourself, also takes into account that the other person might not have had as good an education as yourself... that's called being humble.

"(officially airplane)"? If you're American, maybe, but in the UK, Australia and many other Commonwealth countries, it's officially "aeroplane", so the spelling depends on where you're from 😉
