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.
