TLDR : Answer Summary

When a retirement visa is approved, it generally has a validity of 90 days from the date of issue. This means that you must enter Thailand within those 90 days to receive your entry stamp. However, the specific requirements may vary slightly depending on whether it is a Non-O or Non-OA visa.

Most visas are issued for 90 day validity, meaning you must enter Thailand within 90 days of the visa being issued to get your entry stamp.

But to give you a firm answer, we would need to know the specific type of visa, for example Non-O, or Non-OA
