I'm very computer literate and I did find it an arm wrestle but persevered and finally did get it done.

Paid my $60 and got my 60 visa in a few days.

I've since found out Thailand now has standard issue 60 visa on arrival current.

So maybe double check this first.

A Wise card is a great way of doing international transfers in another currency. Load the card with USD and nominate the account to transfer to plus the currency. The exchange rate is the mid market rate for the day and the fees are way lower than any of the banks.

one final question.

After I arrive in Thailand I will apply for the extra 30 days (to make the total 90 days) - is their a timeline restriction/requirement within which I need to apply for that extra 30 days?

Say within the first 30 days after arrival?

Or 45 days etc?

hi Brandon yes, of course, fully agree on your explanation of the initial first 30 days - was using that description loosely.

Thanks for your heads up on the rest.

I'm guessing yes here from your reply - apply on Line (Canberra Consulate - I'm in Qld) for the tourist visa which will allow me, on approval, 60 days on arrival and then, while in Thailand apply for the one time extension of 30 days?

Thanks again Brandon, appreciated.

A good start would be to wise up and respect and comply with the Thai rules
