Sounds like no problem to me , it's 65k per month , international transfer , EVERY month , minimum, you have done double that and it's an International transfer .

Pros ; plenty of stuff happening , lots a great golf courses , awesome inexpensive food options , close to Bangkok , can live anyway you like , can be super fit or a complete slob , as much Thai or Western as you like .

Cons ; the immigration office arrrggh ( no thanks , so much easier here ) Main beaches are not great , that the ferry to HH is no longer .

yes , if direct that's certainly impossible , but nice thought .

@VaiAna *********

correct , next time is 1 year , year at a time .

15 months is your first Visa 12 + 3 , two seperate things , when you renew it will be 12 months at a time .

probably true Ally , with one major cost exception , I'm fully invested , I look at it from a " total income return on Australian investments pa " , this is my major reason actual cost in total .

In this case I'd be using an agent , all too hard just get the initial Visa , do it yourself next time , it's costing you emotionally , and in time and money , they will do all for you , just pay .

In absolutes , it's a tiny slip ..

" My wife and I " maybe would be better ..

But certainly NOT " Me and my wife " , extremely poor grammar . The OP is from Australia , and there are many who would express as he has , it's use of the word " The " .

The Australian expression that annoys me far more is.." I stopped for a feed " , plus of course the cringe worthy chant , but none of that relates to this example .

if you are showing symptoms, just toughen it though and get though , then worry about it later .

Well , that goes without saying , you are not going to toss your boarding pass , and he doesn't have that yet .
