Entry basics
Passport validity: at least 6 months beyond your date of entry into Thailand.
Proof of funds (spot-check): immigration may ask for cash equivalent to ฿20,000 per person on arrival. Enforcement is inconsistent but non-zero, especially for solo travellers on one-way tickets.
Common issues for Australia passport holders
- Super/pension income counts for retirement visa (Non-O)
- Working-holiday-age travellers should use DTV, not visa-exempt
- Marriage-visa requires Australian income proof (400k baht/year via embassy letter)
Recommended long-term visa options
For stays longer than the visa-exempt period, these visa types are commonly used by Australia citizens in Pattaya:
DTV
Retirement (Non-O)
Marriage (Non-O)
