Hello,

I'm trying to figure out for how many months my passport need to be valid when applying for a 90-days Non Immigrant O Visa based on being over 50?

Same question when I go to Immigration in Saraburi for my 1 year extension, if there are a difference between these two?

Arrival at Suvarnabhumi on August 20th, soon I'll start my Visa application using affidavit from Swedish Embassy in Bangkok about the financial requirements.

My passport expire July 5th 2027.

I'm sorry if this question being up here before but could not find anything about it.

Thanks!

Answer summary

When applying for a 90-day Non-Immigrant O Visa in Thailand, your passport should be valid for the entire duration of your stay and ideally beyond your visa's expiration. Since your passport expires on July 5, 2027, you are within the limits for both the 90-day visa and the one-year extension. It's recommended to ensure that your passport remains valid for at least an additional six months after the end of your extension to ease any further applications or renewals.

You might want to get the 90 day Non-O visa from the thai consulate in your country before you wing your way here although you will be fine applying for the in country 90 day Non-O with a passport that expires in July 2027.

Your passport will not expire within the time you will get on the Non-O visa OR the year extension (figuring from Aug, that's 90 days so about November 2025, and then a year extension is Nov the following year (2026)

Your passport expires 8 months AFTER that year extension (so you'd renew the passport before you went to get the second year extension Nov of 2026)

Okay thanks! Yes I will apply online from my home country Sweden, start the process in a few days. From the date of issue of that Visa I have 60 days to pass Immigration at Suvarnabhumi, correct?

as Jan said you have 3 months from the date they issue the Non-O visa to ENTER thailand and even if you came in on the last day the visa is valid for you'd still get 90 days when you stamped in

Safe travels, best of luck with it
