Question

Travelling to Thailand 2 Feb from Australia, what is the earliest I can submit application for 60day tourist visa.

Ask Thailand · Answer

You can submit your application for a 60-day tourist visa to Thailand as early as now, given that visas are valid for 90 days from the date of issue. It is recommended to apply around 60 days before your trip (by early December) to allow time for processing and any potential issues with your application. You can apply online through the Thai embassy in Sydney and follow up with your passport and paperwork post-approval. Alternatively, some travelers suggest using the visa on arrival option to stay for 30 days and then extend it while in Thailand.

I’m Aussie and did it at the beginning of this year. Apply online in Australia and if you live in Sydney they will give you an appointment to go in and get the visa stamp. If you’re out of Sydney you can post it to them after you apply online. It will explain online. Then just after you arrive here you can go get a 30 day extension. Took me all of 30minutes at the office near chatuchak markets or some people call jj market. Go to the Sydney Thai embassy online.

you get 90 days from the date of issue to use it, so if you apply 60 days before you should be fine

Why wouldn’t you just do the visa on arrival for 30 days & pay 1900bht for a 30 day extension while your here? So easy to do.

I have done this many times. I’m Australian too!

Do it via Sydney online pre-approval then send passport and paperwork to them after you get pre-approval email back

A Tourist visa is valid to enter Thailand for 90 days from the day it's issued.

So you should be fine if you apply about 2 months or 60 days before your trip is planned. This leaves some time to fix any potential issues with your application and also gives you time to accomodate if there's any issues that cause you to delay your trip for a few weeks.
