ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi! I have a question I will be travelling in thailand from 16/09-09/12 with a tourist visa (90 days). However, this visa got approved to early and its validity period is from 02/09-30/11 so I think I can only legally stay untill the 30th of November. Does anybody have any idea of how I can fix this? And stay untill the 9th of December. The thai ambassy in my country isn’t much of a help.

Your visa is like an entry ticket. The ticket expires 30 November, and you can use it to enter Thailand until that date. When you use it, you then receive the entire permission to stay that visa grants (60 days) starting from the day you enter.
