ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi,we got our passport back from nz embassy and we note that our tourist visa is valid until June 10 .

We intend to arrive there on June 4 .

My understanding is on arrival that we then get 60 days and can extend another 30 .

My concern is that the visa in my passport will have expired

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user's concern is about their tourist visa, which is valid until June 10, while they plan to arrive on June 4. Multiple comments clarify that as long as you arrive before the visa expiration date, it remains valid for entry. After arrival, the user will receive a 60-day stay, which can be extended for an additional 30 days.

doesn't need the extension. It's valid to enter up till 10th and they'll be stamped in for the 60 days they wanted.

The visa just let's you enter the country, once you've entered it doesn't matter anymore, the entry stamp is what matters.

It says valid to use up to 10th. You're arriving before that so there is no problem.

You must enter by June 10. You can then go to the local immigration office and apply to extend for another 30’days. This will cost 1900 baht.

You have 3 months to use the visa from the date of issue, so either you're reading it incorrectly, you applied for it and got it 2 months ago and NZ post is atrocious. Or the embassy put the wrong date. Regardless, if you are stamped in on the 4th you can still get the extension even if the visa does expire on the 10th.

Why are you concerned it will be expired? You just said it expires on the 10th and you're arriving on the 4th. You just need to arrive by the 10th to use the visa.
