I arrive in Thailand beginning of Sep. When do I need to start arranging my multiple entry tourist visa please?
Answer summary
For arranging your multiple entry tourist visa for Thailand, it's recommended to start the application process no more than 3 months before your scheduled arrival date in September. Some suggest initiating the process in August for better timing. Ensure to check the online resources of your local Thai embassy for the most accurate guidance and updates regarding visa processing. Keep in mind that a TR visa is valid for a specific duration once issued, requiring you to enter Thailand within 90 days of issuance.
