I just received my Non-Imm Type OA Visa.  There is no "enter by" date.  Am I still able to take a border run toward the end of my first year to have it stamped one year later?  The ONLY dates on my Visa are Valid from (the date they processed the Visa) and Valid Until (1 year from the date issued) and my birthdate.  If someone can clarify how this works, I would appreciate it.

Answer summary

The Non-Immigrant Type OA Visa is valid for one year from the issue date. Since your visa does not have an 'enter by' date, you can exit and re-enter Thailand before the visa's expiration date to receive a new stamp granting you an additional year in the country. It is important to ensure you do this before the visa's valid until date.

You have until 11:59PM on 11 July 2019 to enter the country and get stamped in for another year. :)

All visas issued by thai consulates have a "valid until", "enter before" "date of expir" or "must be utilized" by date. Non-Immigrant Type O-A visas are good for a year from the date they're issued. Meaning if you exit/re-enter the country just prior to the date the visa expires you'll get stamped in for a new year.

the "valid until" date is the date that visa expires. Any time you enter thailand before or up to that date will stamp you in for a whole new year.

Oh. Ok. Others previously alwasys spoke of the Enter by date, which is different. Hope it works- the Visa process is brutal. Hopefully extension is easier

WOW :O that's the first one I've seen with a "Valid Until" rather than an 'enter before'

I must have went thru over 50 or 60 visa images I have on my p/c and only found 'enter before' or 'date of expiry'.

Sorry :/

on the visa itself will be a date of issue and either an "enter before" date or a "must be utilized by" date. What are those two dates?
