Is it too early to apply for a Thai visa 6 months in advance of my trip?
I have my flight booked and am planning on visiting end of October, would it be too far in advance to apply NOW, 6 months ahead of time? Will be applying via Soft power/Muay Thai at the NY Embassy. (Only have done some cursory skimming but looks like most people get their applications in only a few *weeks* in advance of departure?) I'd just like the peace of mind having it locked in before any potential negative changes to the program...

If I'm not mistaken, applications should be done no sooner than 3 months before your scheduled arrival.
