You are lucky you even got an answer from the embassy Posted Image
Here is a copy of the stamp you can get,as I said it gives a paper trail of name change and new passport/ old passport details. We did this because my wife had 3 or 4 years left on her USA visa

Thanks for that!
Whatever I choose to do will be started on Monday. Unfortunately we live well away from BKK.

"You are lucky you even got an answer from the embassy Posted Image"

Never a truer word!!   The front line email responses from the Australian Embassy are pretty unhelpful.

I really "loved" their first email response (the mistake they made was to include a name/phone number.)  Once I rang and spoke to an individual all flowed smoothly.

Far be it from me to disagree with the Embassy but that's not correct.
It's what they would prefer to happen which is understandanble but to
say she cannot travel on the visa is wrong IMO.
If it's easy for you to do and would make you feel more at it ease, go ahead,
but, like I've said, she can travel with bost ppt's, gain entry into Australia and then
get it evidenced there.
It happens all of the time.

Hi Will

Remember the 2 passports are in different names.

When spesking to the Embassy my first question was if my wife was able to travel as is --- their answer was pretty clear.  I did push it a little explaining that I may be forced to return to Australia on very short notice & did not wish to travel without my wife.
Again replying in the negative  "She will be denied boarding in BKK"

My intent here is not to convince anyone of anything --- simply to report what I have learned.

"Up to you"

Thanks to all contributors -- I posed the question here as my initial responce from the Australian Embassy was inadequate.

I did follow up with them by phone and was informed that as things stood my wife could not travel. I asked them to advise in writing the requirements  -- here is the relevant portion of that reply -- received this afternoon:

"Please submit both of Mrs tig's passport (old & new) and a copy of Name/Surname Changed Certificate at the Australian Visa Application Centre (AVAC) as we need to update her new details into our system. Her tourist visa will then be valid until 26/09/2012 with the same condition (12 months, multiple entry).
Department of Immigration and Citizenship
Australian Embassy, Bangkok"

I hope this information may assist others in the same situation.

This would be better in the computer section.
Unblock_us does some trickery with DNS servers and and only changes routes for sites that need location validation.Claims it delivers no slow down of other traffic and your external ip address will remain the same.
The proposal is that it allows access to sites that are blocked -- without resorting to VPN.
