What are the implications of not using my Thai visa after it's been issued?
What happened if I don't use my Vis@..I live in Vietnam and had my visa in Feb but I still don't get in to Thailand yet with my new visa..it will affect it?
Answer summary
If you hold a Thailand NON-O visa that you received in February but have not yet entered Thailand, you typically have five years to enter the country without it affecting your visa status. However, be prepared for potential questions regarding the delay in your entry, especially if your visa was obtained through specific channels such as soft power.

You have 5 years to enter thailand where as other non-o visa are limited by time DTV isnt. Where as you can use it as often or as less as you want

You have 5 years to use it, BUT you should definitely be ready for some questions about why it took so long for you to use it. Especially if you got the visa via soft power.

OPParticipante anónimo 886 just as you saying... Getting out every 90 days..I just applied the Thai visa for curiosity never thinking about moving there..I don't like Thailand to live I like Vietnam but is always good to have some options ready just incase...

Anonymous participant ok. Staying in Vietnam under 90 day tourist visa gives you limited options for bank accounts and no drivers license
At least in Thailand you can get DL. But I guess you have options
I think I might try 6 months in each one

Anonymous participant I love both countries
They offer different things
No Pattaya for sure
Bangkok is not for a couple of months.
Try Hua Hin
Or Krabi
People love that DTV. I would use it. Maybe leave rainy season to sunny Thailand
