TLDR : Answer Summary
A British citizen can apply for the 60-day tourist visa up to 3 months before their arrival in Thailand. It is advisable to apply within 30-60 days prior to the trip to ensure timely processing. The Thai embassy in London typically issues tourist visas within 3-5 days after application. Therefore, it is recommended to apply as soon as possible to avoid any stress or delays.

Up to 3 months before departure.

Do it now no need to wait save yourself all the stress.

Should have it back in a week or so. the website has a habit of torturing applicants

The earlier you start the better ๐Ÿ˜‚

The Thai embassy in London is known for issuing tourist visas 3-5 days after applying. So anytime in the window of 30-60 days before the trip should be safe.

The visa is good for 90 days before you must enter Thailand. Given that time frame you can apply now.
