Hello everyone, maybe someone knows the answer 🙏

I proposed for a e-visa in advance but the confirmation came when I was already 4 days in Thailand.

So I entered with a visa-on-arrival which one I just extended 1,5 weeks ago.

So, now I have an e-Visa from Germany which says I have to use it till mid January what would be perfect, cause my actual visa is running out mid of December. And I‘m planning to do a border run.

Now my question: is this 2 month e-visa also valid when I enter from another country then Germany?

Thanks for your time and advise 🙏💜

love&peace

Answer summary

The user inquired if their newly acquired e-Visa, which must be activated by mid-January, is valid for entry into Thailand from any country other than Germany, given they initially entered Thailand using a Visa on Arrival. The responses confirmed that there are no restrictions regarding the country of origin for the e-Visa, and it can be used as long as it is activated before the specified date.

Totally no problem to use a valid SETV to enter by land or air from any country.

There is no restriction on the country of origin of your trip to Thailand.

Just use that SETV on or before the "must be used by" date. And make sure you are stamped in for 60 days before you leave passport control.

By the way, you entered on visa-exempt, not Visa On Arrival. Those are different things in Thailand. While that's a common usage of terms worldwide, understanding and using correct Thailand-specific terminology may make your Thailand trip easier.
