Have just received a 90 day O visa from Thai embassy in Australia. How long do I have before I have to fly out.
Answer summary
Upon receiving a 90-day O visa from the Thai embassy, it is valid for 90 days from the date of issue. Travelers can enter Thailand anytime before the 'valid until' date on the visa, and upon entry, they will be allowed to stay for the duration granted (commonly 30 days). It's important to verify specifics, as interpretations may differ by country.

A 90day o issued in the UK gives you 90 days from the date of issue to enter Thailand and then the visa is valid for 90 days from the date you enter. I would assume that it would be the same for visas issued in Australia. If you want to be a hundred percent sure go to the forum on asean now website, there are some very knowledgeable people on there.

Some people here will treat you like an idiot who can’t read, but it’s a legitimate question because different countries interpret the “valid until” date differently.

The visa will have a start date and end date for the period of validity and a length of stay. You can enter the country any time during the validity period. But assume that you have a length of stay of 30 days. Some countries take the view that you must leave the country by the end of the validity period even if you entered the country only a couple of days before. Other countries take the view that as long as you have entered the country before the expiration of the validity period, you can stay there for the full 30 days even if that period ends after the end if the validity period.

I don’t recall what the rule is in Thailand, but the answer is probably on the web page of the relevant government office. It’s usually in a FAQ section somewhere.

In Thailand a visa issued from a consulate has a “valid until” date. As long as you enter before 11:59pm on that date you will be stamped in for however many days that visa allows.

@Stuart ********
and James thank you....unlike some idiots on here you have answered the correct question not the obvious question.

@Stuart ********
was your language “issued from a consulate” intended as limiting language? Are you saying, for example, that a visa obtained online might have different rules?

@James **********
yes. Enter on day one of the visa or enter on day 90. You’ll get the same amount of days granted.

@Stuart ********
with the same rule as to entry and stay? That is, that you could enter on the last day of the validity period and still stay for 30 days if that is the length of stay granted?

Sorry not meant that way. Any visa issued by a embassy, consulate, or via the evisa system. All have a “valid until” date.

It’s valid for 90 days. There will be a date on it that says “valid until”.

Traveling has become the biggest headache due to the process of visas. But then you see documentaries of wanted people and murderers who seem to cross any border they want to, undetected, and hide from their law. People who play by the rules have to jump through hoops to go anywhere. Makes no sense.
