The modern allure of the Land Down Under has propelled the influx of Thai and other foreign visitors to Australia for academic, employment and settlement opportunities. Thais are among the visa nationals – or nationalities that are required of a visa to enter Australia. The Australian embassy in Bangkok accepts visa applications from Thais and resident expats in Thailand who are planning to visit Australia for holiday, settlement and employment purposes.
AUS Tourist Visa
If you plan to visit Australia for holiday it’s important to familiarize yourself with the Tourist visa application requirements and procedure to be able to obtain a tourist visa successfully.
Australian tourist visas are classified into:
- 6-month single-entry tourist visa
- 1-year multiple-entry tourist visa
The main requirements for the visa application have something to do with the economic and social ties of the applicant with her home country which are the compelling reasons she’s coming back after her allowed visit in Australia. These can be in the form of the following:
-
stable employment
-
assets and properties
-
savings
-
dependents
-
businesses
However, if you are going to Australia under the sponsorship of an Australian citizen who is your fiancé, friend, relative and the like, your sponsor would have to furnish documents supporting your application. These include:
-
proof of accommodation
-
proof of relationship with the applicant being sponsored
-
proof of stable financial position
Visa Application Process
The applicant has to collect all required documents for the visa application. The sponsor has to furnish the necessary supporting documents to be included in the applicant’s documents prior to submitting it to the Aus Embassy in Bangkok. The embassy usually takes 3-4 business days to process the visa application.
If the Visa is granted, the applicant will receive her passport with a visa stamped on it. If the Visa is denied, the applicant will receive a refusal letter along with her passport. A re-application can be lodged immediately once the reasons in the letter have been successfully addressed.
