ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
If you arrive in Thailand on a 30-day tourist visa and have also applied for a 60-day E-visa, that E-visa cannot be activated while you are inside Thailand. It remains valid for 90 days from the date of issuance, during which you can exit and re-enter Thailand to obtain the 60-day visa stamp. Many users shared their experiences with E-visa processing times, emphasizing that the visa is typically issued closer to the departure date, causing some to suggest early application to avoid delays.
