TLDR : Answer Summary

The individual received approval for a Tourist TR visa, allowing them to enter Thailand by July 16, which grants a 60-day stay upon entry. It's crucial to enter Thailand before the visa's expiration date of July 16, 2023, to receive the full duration of stay.

You have 90 days to enter Thailand on that visa then you’ll get stamped in for 60 days which you can extend once for 30 days

Thai visa system is different from Schengen visa system. Even if you arrive on the exp. date, 16 July, you will always be grant 60 days from there. Schengen Visa on the other hand will not allow you to stay after exp date of the visa itself.

This seems a recurrent issue. Folks misinterpret the validity of the visa with the period of stay. Years ago I ran into a lady who was past the exit date stamped on her passport but kept insisting she had a 3 month visa.

The 90 days that the visa is valid for starts the day it's issued, meaning you've got 90 days to use the visa. If you use the visa within that 90 days you'll be stamped into the Country for 60 days. It's not rocket science!

this is true. It is misleading in my humble opinion. Recently (last year) I had tourist visa in hand .. date issued .. 2 weeks before I travelled. The stamp-in on arrival doesnt mean the visa period !

All these little tricks & traps to confuse the new travellers.

Yes I know. But Brandon said that was wrong on an earlierpost and said the Visa duration starts the day its issued and you only get 60 day in country from when its issued not from when you enter. It seems it is rocket science for you

The visa duration DOES start the day it's issued and you get 60 days 'admitted to stay' the day you enter Thailand.

How come when I said this on a previous post you said I was wrong and the time starts from when the visa was issued not the date you enter Thailand? I knew I was right as thats what I did with my Visa.🤔

The VISA starts from the date of issue. The ENTRY STAMP which is granted by virtue of the visa starts on the date of entry.
