I have an exemption to leave Australia and have an appointment at the end of the week to see the consulate and obtain a non-o family visa.

So here's my query- what is the best option for me visa wise wanting to leave at the end of this month and staying until roughly sept-oct?

A single entry non-o or multi entry non-o?

Is it hard to extend my visa while I'm in Thailand? Do I need to leave the country after 2 months like the old requirements of the multi entry?

Thank you

I used an agent, they applied for me to the Australian border force with documents pretty much showing I have a wife daughter and house in Thailand and I am desperate to see them after 15 months apart, took me 2 weeks to get after 2 failed attempt s initially so timeframe would vary. Persistence is the key and just keep applying until you get it.

would not be necessary as I can obtain non-o family visa quite easily before I go

There is only single TR60, no multiple since border runs are not possible. You can arrive with TR60 and then extend for 30 and either hope for a COVID extension being available or convert to a Non O if you have a Thai spouse or child or are 50 and over or an Education visa
