Hi everyone, I applied for a 90 days Non O family visa to visit my Thai wife in December(for 3 months). My flight lands in Thailand on 7th December. It was approved today but unfortunately the dates on the visa are from: 11th November-8th Feb 27.

I presumed the dates would be 90 days from: 7th December. So I will still only be able to stay in Thailand for 63 days. Is there anything I can do? Thanks in advance 🙏
Answer summary
The user is inquiring about the validity of their 90-day Non-O family visa to visit their Thai wife. The visa was approved with dates that do not align with their entry date, leaving them with only 63 days in Thailand instead of the intended 90 days. Respondents clarify that Thai visas are effective from the date they are issued and suggest that upon entering Thailand, the user will receive a 90-day entry stamp.

Wrong answer.

Those dates are only the dates between which you need to enter the country.

Upon entry you get your 90 days.

All Thai visas are valid from the day they are issued by the embassy. The date on the visa means you must enter within that period. So the last day you can enter Thailand and use your visa is February 8th.

When you enter, you will receive a 90-day entry stamp since that's what a non-O visa provides.

Dave Banks Your entry takes place during the visa's validity period.

Based on that visa you will usually be permitted to stay 90 days starting with the day of your entry.

THAT'S what Brandon said. READ.

Dave Banks Recommend you do a google search for “Thai type o family visit visa entry and stay validity”, print it and save the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reference linked in it to your phone.

Unfortunately, not all airline check in agents are knowledgeable about Thai visa validly…
