After receiving a Thai tourist visa , can you use it one month later. How soon you must enter country..? If I get now can I enter and it starts 5 weeks later.

Answer summary

After receiving a Thai tourist visa, you can enter Thailand at any time before the visa expires, which is 90 days from the date it was issued. Upon entry, you will receive a stamp that allows you to stay in Thailand for 60 days regardless of when within that 90-day period you enter.

Maybe. I tried to fly to Phnom phen spend a few days fly back around 10th august but got rejected. . Had done to many tourists visas and hops. I guess after near 3 months I might be ok but I fear another rejection . I'm not sure if I wanna take chance, all my resources stuck in Thailand . Getting rejected again and sent back to Kuala Lumpur would make things very tricky financially .

Are you not eligible for visa exempt instead?

I didn't need "The full story" only to confirm one specific thing. This page was ideal for my needs.

Yes, you can use it within 90 days. The time you're stamped in for will not be affected, that remains 60 days.

A tourist visa is valid for 90 days from issue. You can use it to enter Thailand at anytime prior to that date.

On entry you will get stamped in for 60 days regardless of whether you enter on day one or day 90 of the visa validity.
