Hi all. QQ re 90-Day Non-Immigrant O Visa.

Can you apply and get the visa without a timeline to actually going and triggering the 90 days by arriving at the boarder?

TLDR : Answer Summary
You can apply for the 90-Day Non-Immigrant O Visa online; however, although you're asked for flight details during the application, taking that exact flight is not mandatory. It is important to note that the visa must be activated within 90 days of its issue date, which means you need to arrive in Thailand within that timeframe to get your 90-day stamp upon arrival. Additionally, travelers from certain countries may have alternatives such as a 60-day exemption followed by a 30-day extension.

There is always the 60 days exempt plus 30 days extension if your passport is from one of the listed countries.

You MUST use it within 90 days of issue. You get a 90 day stamp on arrival

The online evisa application just asks for your flight details, but you're not required to take that flight.

But there have been reports that some embassies have contacted after submission of the application requesting a copy of the plane ticket.
