How far in advance should I apply for a Multi-Entry Tourist Visa (METV) at the Thai Embassy in London?

@Ian ********

sorry deleted my comment, didn't see that you mentioned METV and you're right you need to get that as close as you can to when you're comin' here so you can max out the time on it

Sorry for the bad info, guess not enough coffee yet this morning 🙂

Check the UK Thai Embassy website...

They ask for 15 Business Days for the approval of visas.

In recent weeks we have seen reports of Visa approvals within a week.

Be sure you have met the requirements for the METV multiple entry tourist visa on the Evisa online application system.

And that you show both original departure from your home country UK and a flight ✈️ departing Thailand within the First 60 days of your approved arrival stamp.

Suggest you read the posts about the METV multiple entry tourist visa on this forum...
