I applied for a 60 Day Tourist Visa on December 19, 2022 through the Ottawa, Canada Thai Embassy and received approval on January 16, 2023. There were a few holidays in that time period and they wanted one piece of documentation updated, but on the whole it was an easy process and took 4 weeks. If I didn't need the one document updated it would have been 3 weeks. I opted for this route as it was less money and easier than coming in on a 45 day exempt and then extending it at an immigration office in Thailand. Looking forward to my stay in Phuket coming up very soon.
