Hi, What happens if my non imm O visa trough e-visa will be approved while i’m in Thailand with visa exemption?

It will be activated when i’ll enter the next time or? If it is the case the 90 days will start from the approval date or from the date that i’ll re enter the following time?

Answer summary

If your Non-Immigrant O visa is approved while you are in Thailand on a visa exemption, it will not be activated until you leave Thailand and re-enter. The visa validity begins from the date you re-enter the country, not from the approval date. It is also important to ensure that you maintain your status and provide any required documentation to the issuing embassy.

My non-o was approved and sent 2 days after I entered on 60day exempt. I took a couple of weeks to find housing,, then did border run to activate the non-o. Then jumped through the hoops to get bank account, vehicles and drivers licenses. Was easy. I used a border run company here in hua Hin to bounce in Myanmar.

Both, a Non-O is valid for 90 days from the date of issue and gets you a 90 day entry stamp even if you use it on day 90

If a visa is issued while you are in Thailand, you cannot use it until you leave and re-enter the country.

If the embassy you applied at asks you for a follow-up proof of your location that you are still in the country where you applied, your application will be cancelled without refund.
