Is my Thai wife entitled to a widow's pension in Australia if I pass away?

Rob **********

Unfortunately the answer is no, the widow’s pension doesn’t exsist anymore and if she isn’t at least a Permanent resident of Australia she can’t receive any pension at all. All pension’s are means tested and have a qualification period even the aged pension.

Do I need to submit a TM30 form when returning to my Bangkok condo after domestic travel?

Rob **********

TM30 does not show an expiration date, but your local immigration office may require you to do a new one when returning from a trip inside of Thailand. Always best to check on your local requirements.

Do Australian passport holders receive a 60-day visa on arrival in Thailand?

Rob **********

You are correct about getting 60 days entry in Thailand as an Australian passport holder, but it is called visa exempt, visa on arrival is totally different altogether, just to correct your terminology.

How far in advance can I complete my 90-day reporting in Chiang Mai and what documents do I need to bring?

Rob **********

15 days before or 7 days after the due date, take your passport, a completed TM47 form in blue ink and a copy of your up to date TM30 if required, but always best to check with your local immigration office as it varies from office to office around the country
