JUST GOT MY NON-O, BUT IT IS DATED THE DATE THAT THEY APPROVED IT. NOT COMING FOR ANOTHER TWO MONTHS. DID I FILL IT OUT WRONG? AND CAN I APPLY FOR ANOTHER? USA THANKS EVERYONE, I GOT MY ANSWER
Answer summary
The approval date on your Non-O visa is not an issue as long as you enter Thailand within 90 days of that approval date. When you enter, you will receive a 90-day stamp regardless of when you plan to travel, and your visa will remain valid for that duration.

Yes it's a bit confusing at first but don't panic, you get stamped at the airport for 90 days on arrival, I would print off a copy of your visa, you will not need it but just in case, it's all on there computers,

Darren Hill Yes early into the digital era some bright spark (probably 46XX) decided that capital letters equates with YELLING. That is now etched in stone.

John Cardona yes indeed. They are ‘now’ diagnosed as ADHD or else ‘being on the spectrum’. A raft of medication is then proffered.

You have 90 days to enter.

You will be granted a 90 day stamp on arrival regardless of how long is left on your visas validity.

It's valid for 3 months to enter the country. Then it's void. On entry you get stamped in for a 90 day stay.

Now you have 90 days to enter Thailand from that approval date . And you will be stamped in for 90 days

No. You'll be fine. The visa is valid for use to enter Thailand for 90 days from the date of issue. Once you enter Thailand within that period you will be stamped in for 90 days with the day you enter being day 1.
