Wow, riveting stuff!

Sorry SceaPosted Image

If you take it to Robinsons, you probably won't see it for 3 months
or so, so if you need it for another trip to Oz, I'd be going elsewhere.

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.

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.

OP

Stat decs, new visas and stamp's aren't necessary.
As long as she travels with both passports, she will be ok.

When she get's to Oz, take her to DIAC and get a new visa
evidenced to reflect the change in name.

does anyone know if a re-entry visa is needed for those with a non-immigrant visa to cross the border into Tachilek. I haven't gotten mine and was hoping to take my family there just for an hour or so.

You can use a VIP pass into Burma that doesn't involve stamping your passport.

Just present your passport to Thai Immigration with 2 photocopies of the main page and 100B.
They keep your passport and you pick it up when you come back.

Further information can be found here: http://www.thaivisa....o/page__st__475

Hope this helps.

How do you get into Burma if you don't have your passport?

You give Burmese Immigration a photocopy.

This is also good for people on Tourist visa's
who don't want to reduce their stay to 15 days
for a land crossing.

Read through the thread I gave. There is a lot more
information there.
