When you receive a "non-Imm O" visa, is it only valid for entry within a certain amount of time (e.g. 30, 60, or 90 days from date of issue), or does the timing only start once you enter the Kingdom?
Answer summary
The validity period for a Non-Imm O visa is 90 days from the date of issue for single-entry visas. You must enter Thailand within this 90-day period. A multi-entry Non-Imm O visa is valid for entry for one year from the date of issue.

A single entry Non Imm O is valid for 90 days from the date of issue and a multi entry 1 year from the date of issue

If I'm not mistaken I can request either one but the multi-entry costs about twice as much, right?

Not really worth getting the multi entry Non Imm O at the moment with land borders closed and quarantine, etc.

No, it depends on the embassy. Most embassies won't issue multiple entry Non-Os. If you're retiring you can look at the Non-OA

More than double but many Embassys/Consulates only issue single entry Non Imm O's

Single entry Non-O is valid for 90 days when you enter the country.

Once it's issued you have 90 days to enter the country though.

Ok thanks. Just as I thought. So it's not worth applying for too far in advance of travel.
