Do you need a visa?
Not for a holiday. Australian passport holders enter Thailand without a visa and stay up to 30 days under Thailand's visa exemption scheme. You can ask immigration for one extension of 30 days once you are here, which takes you to 60 days.
You do need a visa if you want to stay longer than that, or if you are coming to work, study, retire or join family. Those routes are below.
Where your application is handled
Thailand has 2 offices in Australia. Your application is reviewed there. You still apply online.
Royal Thai Embassy, Canberra
Royal Thai Consulate-General, Sydney
The honorary consulate cannot issue your visa
Thailand has an honorary consulate in Brisbane and Melbourne and Perth. It is easy to find and easy to mistake for the real thing. It cannot issue visas, Thai passports, ID cards or certificates, and it cannot authenticate documents. Do not send your application or your documents there.
