This agreement implements to ensure greater access for Australian products, enhances prospects for services trade and investment, improves the regulatory environment and promotes increased business mobility. This report focuses on two sections which include immigration policy and transfer of funds and earning from Thailand back to Australian. Immigration policy under Free Trade Agreement The immigration policy under TAFTA provides the temporary entry of natural person who needs to perform engagement on business purpose. Natural person must be a person who is a national or a permanent resident of Australia. This natural person should be employed or signed service contract with company that registered in Australia or Thailand. Furthermore, this person should also meet the criteria on immigration formality in order to have a right to receive temporary entry visa. The eligibility and duration of each stay depend on different business purpose. 1. Business visitors - Thailand does not require a work permit for Australian citizens who are business visitors conducting business meetings in Thailand for up to 15 days, and up to 90 days for APEC Travel Card Holders. This condition is available for service seller, investor and natural persons who are employed by an investor. Service sellers or sales representative of the service firm are people who want to visit Thailand for negotiation about business without make direct sale to the general public or supply service directly. Those Australian investors seek investment opportunity in the territory of Thailand. It also can be natural persons who employed by an investor who seek to perform investment in the territory of Thailand. 2. Intra company transfers - Thailand will grant a visa and work permit for up to five years’ stay for all Australian citizens transferred to work in Thailand within the same company. The visa and work permit will be renewed annually. These people should be work as a manager, executive or specialist only. 3. Contractual service suppliers - Thailand will grant a visa and work permit for up to three years’ stay for all Australian citizens entering Thailand to work on the basis of a contract with an Australian or Thai company.

As I already mentioned, the number of kathoey´s in Thailand is surpassing, and the origin of this appearance might lie in Religion. The main religion in Thailand is Buddhism, about 95% of the population are Buddhists (3) who follow the rules of this religion in their everyday life. The Thai- Buddhism is called "Theravada Buddhism" and it is a localized form of the original Buddhism which has it's origin in Indian Hinduism (3). The development from the original form to the "modern" Thai Buddhism took place over many years, "the tension between the teachings of the Theravada Buddhism and the Thai animistic practice" (2).This tension was resolved by "appropriating those elements of the Buddhism doctrine that are compatible with animistic thinking and basic human experience."(2). The result of this development of religion is that "institutional and ritual expressions of Thai religion appear to be very Buddhistic indeed, but its characteristic mentality is not so much interested in the moral message of the Theravada as in auspiciousness, worldly continuity and the manipulation of saksit (supernatural "sacred") power"(2).

Domestic and foreign companies are treated equally before the law.

The topic that I will be discussing is Thai culture. In this, it will include areas that influence this culture. First, I will give you the geographical information of the country of Thailand. The second area that I will look at will be language. Language is an extremely important part of culture and some say that one cannot be found without the other. After that I will inform you about customs, traditions and taboos in Thai culture. This is a very important part of culture and is what shows the differences between cultures. Then I briefly tell you about the government and some national symbols, such as the flag, the symbol, colors, anthem, dress, and national day. Next, I will explain about religion in Thailand. In most cultures there is religion, but in Thailand it is interwoven into its whole culture and it is hard to separate the two. One other thing that I will include in this paper is a link to a page with pictures from my trip to Thailand.
