Purchase of a Condo has absolutely nothing to do with your visa, so no just buying a Condo will not guarantee you a visa of any kind, you still must meet all the requirements for the visa you are applying for or extending.

No you don’t as an Australian passport holder you will get a 60 day visa exempt stamp when you arrive in Thailand, this is free, so you don’t have to do anything.

I actually never used it in all my years here, I prefer to go in person show your face and they remember you after a while, it certainly has helped over the years, it makes them be more lenient in my opinion, but also depends on your office.

@John *******

you are welcome.

@John *******

you mentioned 90 day forms, the only form for 90 days is the TM47 for a 90 day report. If you are talking about an extension it is a TM7 form, and the TM30 is for reporting your address. If you could be more specific with your posts in the future, it will avoid confusion. Also you will only got another 30 days extension on your original 60 day visa exempt stamp, not 40 days and it will cost you 1,900 baht.

Takes 3 minutes to fill in the TM47 form and not long to lodge it, do it yourself, way better and cheaper than an agent. It is a free, so why pay someone else to do it for you.

Yes borders are open as normal.

No it is a public holiday today and immigration offices will be closed today.

Try AXA
