ORIGINAL POSTER

I got my Study visa. Now the only thing is I feel I would like to postpone my trip for a while. Need to take care of some stuff if possible). 

In the application before approval, I had mentioned that I would be there in the next two weeks from now, but now I would prefer to go there after two months. 

Ofcourse I had also mentioned the date of beginning of School course and  my flight dates which are all in the next two weeks. 

Is that going to be fine if I don’t follow those dates and go after two months or it is going to be risky in Thai airport?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user received a study visa for Thailand but is considering postponing their arrival by two months despite initially stating they would arrive in two weeks. Community comments suggest that once the visa is issued, it remains valid until its expiration date, but delaying arrival may complicate matters if an extension is needed later, as it could affect the status of the visa.

The only problem you're likely to have would be if you were planning on extending that initial 90 day visa. It's unlikely an extension would be granted given you didn't complete the purpose the visa was issued for

Well even though I had to put a fixed date in the visa application form, the school doesn’t really have a fixed date. Whenever you go there, you begin the class. So i am not missing anything. The only thing is whether immigration understand this explanation or not, hence i am asking here.

Would there not be a problem if the school starts within 2 weeks, and he don’t attend classes until about 2 months.

I see. So there is no issue.

Well , All I got is an email from thaivisa website that my visa is approved. So I should just nring a copy of this email without any extra documents to Thai airport and they would stamp the visa there in airport?
