ATTENTION AUZZIE MEMBERS

The thai consulate in Sydney has a new pop up when you go to their website saying they will go live on the eVisa website for online applications on March 19th

AND

they say they will only accept applications from people who live in NSW after that date

They say you can apply until Mar 9th the 'old way' (the way they do it now)

Please make a note of it

TLDR : Answer Summary
The Thai consulate in Sydney has announced a new eVisa application system going live on March 19th, which will only accept applications from residents of New South Wales (NSW). Applicants can continue using the current application method until March 9th. There are questions and concerns among members regarding the limitations of this new process, especially for those outside of NSW or in areas where other consulates have closed.

 you have applied by EMAIL with the sydney consulate for a while, (they haven't had walk in traffic) then you were approved and send your passport, payment, return post envelope, and application to them, they put the visa sticker in your passport and mailed it back

AND

you can still do it that way IF you apply before Mar 9th, BUT on the 19th they will go live with world wide Thai eVisa system (that europe, china, and the west uses) and then you apply ONLY thru the eVisa online system, You apply, upload your documents, pay and they email you a PDF that is the visa

I find it strange they have the country split like that where Sydney does ONLY New South Wales and Canberra does the whole rest of the country

Especially now seeing as the thai consulates in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth are all closed 🙁
