What does the 'Valid until' date on a Non-immigrant O visa mean, and can it be extended for 30 days in Thailand?

Non-immigrant O visa Thai visa validity Visa entry timelines Visa extensions in Thailand Requirements for visa extension

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi,

    I am a UK resident. I have just received my 'Non-immigrant O' visa today. It is 'Valid from: 18th April 2025' and 'Valid until: 16th July 2025'

     My question, is the 'Valid until date' the last day I can enter Thailand or the last day I can remain in Thailand?

     Can a 'Non-immigrant O' visa be extended for 30 days in Thailand?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The 'Valid until' date on your Non-immigrant O visa signifies the last day you can enter Thailand, not the last day you can stay. Upon entry, you will receive a 90-day stamp which starts your stay countdown. This visa cannot be extended by 30 days; however, you may be eligible for a 12-month extension if you meet certain requirements.

As long as you enter by July 16th, you'll receive a 90 day entry stamp.

You don't say what your non-O visa is for. If it's for being married to a Thai, you might be able to apply for the 60-day "visiting Thai family" extension, but otherwise the only extension available is going to be the 1-year extension with you meeting all requirements for that.

It doesn't matter what it's issued for, you can apply for and most usually get a 60 days extention based on having Thai dependant relatives if you have Thai dependant relatives. You don't have to be married, maybe have a half Thai child.

I'm not sure that an immigration office would allow someone who entered on a non-O based on retirement to apply for the 60 day visiting Thai family extension, or volunteer non-O, etc

Brandon iv asked questions before about the the non immigrant O visa , which you’ve answered, can I just rent for 3 months to open my Thai bank account , or does it have to be longer ? , as I want longer time to look around and find a place to rent for a year or buy ?

renting has nothing to do with opening a bank account. For that you need a long term visa and a residence certificate from immigration.

You need the bank account to the get the visa. That's why you should get the visa at the embassy BEFORE you go to Thailand. Because you won't be able to open a bank account with a tourist entry.

did you read anything I said? YOUR RENTAL AGREEMENT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GETTING A BANK ACCOUNT. You need your passport, your visa, and a residence certificate from immigration. Which of those says rental agreement to you?

Your visa dates are the validity of the visa. You can enter on the last day and get your 90 stamp. The non O visa cannot be extended for 30 days, you can extend for 12 months but you would need to meet the extension requirements
