Hi my flight is booked for 6th December, I want to get a non o visa can I state on form when I fly , and if I get the visa before the date , will it start from the 6th ? Thank you 🙏

Answer summary

A Non-O visa will be valid for 3 months from the date of issue and you will have 90 days from that date to enter Thailand. You can state your intended flight date when applying for the visa. If your visa is issued before your flight on December 6th, it will allow you to enter Thailand on that date, starting your stay.

Your arrival date would be 7 or 8 December? Wonder what will be your intended date of arrival. What is the flight arrival time and on what date it is in Thailand? Never mind since it does not really require an exact date.

Lynn Bhongsiri Not necessarily. Could be the same day he leaves.

The way that visa works is you get 90 days from the day it's issued to enter Thailand and as long as you enter inside that window you will get stamped for 90 days. So if you arrive on the 6th you will get 90 days including the 6th.

I'd apply for the visa now, no need to worry about trying to time it.
