Do I need to enter Thailand by my Non-O visa validity date to get the 90 days after arrival?

ORIGINAL POSTER
Today I got the approval for the 90-day Non-O (retirement). Thanks again to all who helped with my previous questions. One more: it says it is valid until August 30. Am I correct in thinking this means I need to enter the country by that date, and I will still have 90 days after arrival?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The approval of the 90-day Non-O (retirement) visa requires entry into Thailand by the validity date of August 30. After entering the country, you will have an additional 90 days to stay. Additionally, it is important to open a Thai bank account and deposit 800,000 baht within the first 30 days to prepare for a potential visa extension.

Yes, however in the 1st 30 days it is essential to get a thai bank account opened with 800k baht deposited, as this needs to be 'seasoned' for at least 60 days before you go to immigration to extend the visa for a year.
