I’m filing for 60 Visa online from US my arrival date January 15 leaving March 14, I haven’t got approval need to send my flight in and out, my question if I decided to come earlier, I will be in the Philippines, can I enter before January 15 let’s say 2 weeks before? Do I have to change everything before or can I enter on the 30 days keep the flight out on March 14?
Answer summary
The user is planning to file for a 60-Day Visa online from the US, scheduling an arrival date in Thailand for January 15 and departure on March 14. They inquire about the possibility of entering Thailand two weeks early while currently in the Philippines. Comments suggest that once the visa is approved, the holder can enter Thailand anytime within 90 days of its issuance. Upon entry, they will receive a 60-day stamp, which can be extended for another 30 days.

You can but if it makes your stay longer than 60 days with your booked flight out again they airline probably will not let you board. Your visa needs to cover the whole time you are there

Once you have the visa you can enter anytime within 90 days of it being issued. You'll get stamped in for 60 days and can extend by a further 30 days at a local immigration office
