Thailand Non-Immigrant O Visa (Single Entry)

Validity of Visa: When you are issued a Non-O visa (single entry), it's usually valid for 90 days from the date of issue. This means you must enter Thailand within those 90 days.

Duration of Stay: When you enter Thailand using that visa, you will be granted a 90-day stay, regardless of how many days are left before the visa expires.

Example:

Visa issued: 1 July

Visa valid until: 28 September (90 days later)

You enter Thailand: 27 September

Your stamp at immigration: 90 days from 27 September → so, until 25 December

✅ Key point: The validity period is only about how long you have to use the visa to enter. Once you're in, the 90-day stay starts from your date of entry.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The Thailand Non-Immigrant O Visa (Single Entry) is valid for 90 days from the date of issue, allowing travelers to enter Thailand within that period. Upon entry, holders receive a 90-day stamp regardless of the visa's expiration. However, queries exist about re-entry and extending stays after leaving the country, indicating the complexities surrounding the visa rules.
Ho ******
Is this possible:

Enter with Non-O.

Leave 88 days later with re-entry permit.

Come back 1 day later, get 90 days stamped.

Go to immigration 2 months later and do 1 y EOS with invalid visa but valid stay.

Is there a man in there? Was there a question? Everything is clear in your passport.

yes there is. I was not sure in getting my visa too early but finally received a good explanation and thought that others may be interested.

i got mine nearly instantly. They really take great care once seeing bank statements. The “man in there” statement was from my favorite movie, “The Thing”, not a implication of anything.

That's an excellent explanation.
