ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone 👋

How long can I hold this visa without traveling to Thailand? 

I have heard that there is a requirement to enter Thailand within three months of the visa being issued, otherwise the visa will be canceled. 

Could you please confirm if this is accurate the specific time frame within which I must enter Thailand to keep the visa valid?
