Hi everybody, 

I need information about the 0A visa. Do you know how long I must stay in Thailand (as soon as my visa is activated), in case I have to return to my country of origin for some time for administrative procedures? 

Thanks a lot for your help.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The 0A visa does not have a minimum stay requirement, allowing holders to enter and exit Thailand freely as long as the visa remains valid. It is also worth confirming if the visa is a multiple entry type, as this can affect travel plans.
