Hi, I seeking information and tips for a Canadian citizen and passport holder trying to obtain a two-month Indian tourist visa in Bangkok. Wondering how long it would take?

Hi. Unless things have changed within the last few months i doubt you'll get an Indian visa in Bangkok no matter which passport you hold.
If it's possible, and you only need a couple of months, I would get one before leaving. If this is a no go you could try one of the countries around Thailand or Kandy in Sri Lanka, where it would appear you can get a six month Indian visa.
Best of luck, and keep us informed. .

If you applied at home you'd very likely get 10 years by default.

Recent reports about Indian visas from third countries are not at all positive (Nepal and Sri Lanka the honourable exceptions).
If you are flying into India, and you only need 60 days, then the eTV is probably your choice.

All done online, and very likely to be issued inside 48 hours.
Thanks, everyone. The reason I'm looking for an option to getting an E-Visa in my country is that I will not be in Canada for some time before entering India. It is my understanding that it is valid from the date of issue, not the date of entry into India.
Your understanding is partly wrong. It starts from entry as opposed to a standard tourist visa. However, you have to use it within a window of days of issue. You usually need at least 3 days from entry to apply for it. Its quite generous. I would take a look at #3 again and find the details off the link from the embassy/consulate/high commission site only..
Thank you, Edward. After rereading from the government website, I see you are absolutely correct. There is a 120-day window to enter India and the 60-day e-visa starts then. So I can get it here in the comfort of my own country. My, long-term, travel agent has told me even that can be complicated and suggested using an agent for a small fee.
I doubt that you would be lacking in the skills required. Try a dry run on the EVOA to get an idea of what is involved. There may even be a web post somewhere taking people through it. Now on the regular visa outsourced in the US there was a quirk that if you went back it converted your answer for the, are you a hashish smoking ISIS bomber question, back to a positive yes! The latest is pretty snag free with only a requirement for a utility bill and an oddity in the Fedex section. EVOA doesn't seem to generate much business for us here:(. I did a dry run for fun and was surprised at how much better it was. The only reason you need an agent IMHO is when you have special needs. I did this once for a passport because I needed it faster than fast. The agent caught an error on my part and handled it. In a visa application you normally have time to complete, respond if you mess up, etc.instead of shoveling money at the agent..

I am not wealthy enough to pay someone else to do what I can do. Guidance on the link below.
