First of all, Thailand has a 30-day visa-free policy for Australian passports. If you have joined Australian nationality, you can buy a ticket directly and start.
If you have a Chinese passport, you can`t enjoy visa - free.
The good news is that in order to reduce the adverse effects of the 2018 Phuket cruise ship capsized accident and restore the confidence of tourists to visit Thailand, Thailand government announced from November 15, 2018 that it has waived landing visa fees for tourists from 21 countries, including China, and is still free as of November 2019 and is said to be extended until April 30, 2020.
It should be noted that visa on arrival is exempted from visa fees, which does not mean visa exemption, so the materials that should be prepared must be ready, and the queue time for visa on arrival in the peak period will be relatively long, and there should be psychological preparation; If you don`t want to wait in line, you can try the latest "electronic visa on arrival" launched in 2018.

Summarize some of the questions that little partners often ask
Will it be checked for money?
Of course I`ll check it out! I was checked by spot check, but I took out all kinds of scattered foreign currency in my wallet, and a lot of people lined up in the back, and the staff didn`t have time to count how much money I brought. Many small friends will say that Thailand 7 / 11 can pay treasure and bring so much cash for what? But if you encounter the following situation, it may also be. You have to catch some guys who don`t have enough money to come out.
The size of a two-inch photo?
The requirement of Thai visa for photo is the size of 35*45mm, that is, two inches, that is to say, whether it is a tourist visa or a business visa, or a variety of visas, such as visiting relatives, are all using this standard, but it must be a white photo! Of course, if you are not prepared, the scene can also be photographed, the price will be a little more expensive, photo will also be uglier.
How do I get the two forms?
Entry card
This form must be an official Thai form, each with a separate number and bar code.
Access: flight attendants will send, want a few, sometimes buy a Thai cell phone card at Taobao will also send one.
Entry card Chinese-English comparison form
Application form for visa on arrival
If you are at the airport in Bangkok, it is best to print and fill out the visa on arrival form in advance, there will also be a lot of Chinese and English can be referred to to fill in.
Access: there will be unlimited availability of forms at each airport.
A comparison form between China and England on visa on arrival
There will also be a Chinese comparison at the filling out.
can the data signature write in chinese?
As long as the common language is English after going abroad, the signature needs to sign the same uppercase Chinese pinyin name as the passport!
Are there many people waiting in line for visa on arrival?
This is a matter of real luck, small partners in the group will often ask whether there will be more people crossing the border, depending on the number of people and flights on the same day, even if they ask the airport staff they are not sure, more than ten minutes to several hours, the number of red-eye flights to Bangkok airport will be more, please be prepared, whether it is fast passage or ordinary window queue.
Is there a fast passage at the airport?
At present, Suwanapu Airport still has a fast passage, but Guan Xuan is currently handling the site to cancel the fast passage, but Thailand Suwanapu`s fast channel has been hidden now, generally on the left side of the inspection data channel, the scene is without any sign to consult the site staff, the price is generally 200 baht. It is also possible for the airport in Bangkok to be lined up for a few hours if there are more people. Other small governments generally have a small number of immigrants and generally do not have the same situation as Bangkok.
Do I need to tip for visa on arrival?
There is no need to tip customs officers. For students who need to take the fast passage at Bangkok`s crowded airport, the 200 baht fee for the fast passage is already a disguised tip. If you are required to pay a fast passage fee at a city airport with a small number of immigrants, you can reject it.
