    Big Shoes, Online delivery to Thailand: Suggestions

    in General Topics

    Posted

    I bought some shoes online from Eastbay.com, they arrived from the US in about 3 days but had to pay 50% luxury tax

    I'm hearing ya I buy a lot from Eastbay. I wear a US 12 EE it was OK when we had parity with the USD getting smashed now. Needed new shoes so just paid the best part of 700 aussie for 3 pairs of Nikes and haven't even copped the tax yet. Worst part is 90% of Eastbays stuff is made in China. Actually worst part is trying to find the loophole and seeing the price of the same Nikes in the official Nike online store in China.

    Check out lazada.co.th They have 15 size 1 Nike on offer. I am US14 or 38EU but they have 5 Addidas runners. They do COD so this could be good for you. :)

    Centrelink 'Eligibility' states:

    To be eligible for Age Pension you must satisfy residence requirements. You must be:

    • an Australian resident[8] on the day you lodge your claim, and
    • be physically present in Australia on the day you lodge your claim

    You also need to have been an Australian resident for a continuous period of at least 10 years, or for a number of periods that total more than ten years, with one of the periods being at least five years, unless you:

    • are a refugee or former refugee, or
    • were getting Partner Allowance, Widow Allowance or Widow B Pension immediately before turning Age Pension age, or
    • are a woman whose partner died while you were both Australian residents, and you have been an Australian resident for two years immediately before claiming Age Pension

    Has the members from Australia's experience been that:

    You can be living out of Australia for say 2 years then return to Australia and apply for the Aged Pension?

    (you can start the application up to 13 weeks prior to turning 65).

    Tourist visa on arrival extension

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    You can apply for a 30 day extension of your visa exempt entry at Udon Thani immigration. The fee will be 1900 baht.

    You will need a completed TM7 application form with an attached 4cm X 6cm photo. Copies of your passport photo page, entry/permit to stay stamp and TM6 departure card.

    You would only get a 15 day entry at a border crossing because Australia is not a G7 country.

    Thank you so much for your assistance. This is what I will do
