What does the validity date of my O visa mean for my trip to Thailand?

@Ian *******

you care… you fat dumbass.

@Steve *********

your visa validity date starts counting down the day it is issued. You have until Nov 13th 2026 to enter Thailand. Every entry will give you a 1 year permitted to stay stamp or until the date your health insurance expires. With planning you can get almost two years out of this visa.

@Dennis *********

BS. You have 90 days to enter Thai when Non-O is issued.

You can enter Thai on day 89 and receive 90 day stamp.

@Dennis *********

That is very useful info Dennis i am going to buy my Air ticket early for march and was going to apply after that ,lucky i saw this i will wait until late jan before i apply for my O.

@Dennis *********

that's wrong - it clearly says "visa must be used by" and that's up to 3 months after it is issued and THEN he gets his 3 months permission to stay.

@Dennis *********

that's not true. You have 3 months to use it and then get 3 months from day of entering Thailand. Read Brandon post above. Which is spot on.

- thank you so much for your clear, unambiguous answers. And sticking to the point.

@Brandon ***********

just for sure, it means, you got non O visa for 90 days, and this will be counting from the date of your arrival in Thailand? Let me say, for example, I got the non o visa today. 16.Nov.2025. But this visa has 90 days validity. means, after 90 days from 16.Nov. so, visa validity will expire on 15.Feb 2026. ( 90 days) If I miss this date to arrive in Thailand, my non o visa is no more valid? another question, if I arrive at 14. Feb 2026, my non o visa is still valid (89 days) but can I get a stamp of 90 days? or just one day? Sorry but still not clear for me. Thanks
