Is there enough time to get a 60-day visa for Thailand if I book my flights now for mid-December?
Guys, please can you help, my intention is to go to Thailand around 12-15 December, if I book flights now (i know ill need this for the visa) and then apply for the 60 day visa, is this enough time for it to be approved by the time I fly? It's my first time doing this, thanks in advance.
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around the applicant's concern about obtaining a 60-day visa for Thailand in time for their planned trip around mid-December. The responses indicate that the processing time can vary, but many users report approvals in approximately 10 to 14 days from submission, with some mentioning it could take up to 3-4 weeks, especially around busy travel seasons. Several respondents recommend applying as soon as possible to account for potential delays and to ensure all documentation is accurate.

On their websites they say you can apply up to 3 months before your travel date . Which this time of the year you would need to as they are busy . I've applied 3.5 weeks ago to depart 22nd December. Still sitting on " Pending Document Checks"

The embassies usually each tell you when they suggest to apply before, sometimes it’s weeks and sometimes it’s months

Jared Jernegan the London embassy says 6-8 weeks before you fly. Any earlier they may not look at it, I personally think that that’s stupid, because there’ll be loads of ppl applying around the same time

As long as you're not applying through the Thai embassy in Paris or Ottawa, applying now should be plenty of time for mid December.
