Hi everyone just got my 60 day single entry visa it’s says valid from 26 October till 23rd January 2027 wondering if this is the time frame I have to use it in bit confused as I only go to Thailand on 8th December for the 60 days any advice would be appreciated
Answer summary
The validity of a 60-day single entry visa for Thailand, as mentioned in your post, indicates that you can enter Thailand anytime between the date of issuance (26 October 2026) and the expiration date (23 January 2027). Your actual stay in Thailand will begin when you enter the country, at which point you will receive a 60-day entry stamp. It’s important to note that you can extend your stay by an additional 30 days at a local immigration office if needed.

Yes ,its valid 90 days from entering thailand,as with tourist visa 60 days you have the right to extend 30 days.

It’s valid from the date you enter for 60 days. So if you’re there before 23 Jan next year then you’re all good Fred Moss

The validity of a single-entry visa for Thailand starts on the date of its issuance (not the date you enter Thailand) So it shows the dates with in you got enter Thailand, on immigration you get stamped for 60 days what you can prolong in the local immigration office for another 30 days Do not use the automatic gates when entering or your status will be changed to the visa exemption system

Ronny Liekens is that true that it would use visa exemption through gats?

Sam Lewis Very logical also that you need the manual gate because where you would get your stamp on the visa If you accidentally did it go inmideantly to a live immigration officer to fix it to avoid later problems

You'll be stamped in for 60 days when you arrive on the 8th December 👍

Consider your visa like your ticket to enter Thailand. You must make that entry before the visa expires.

Once you enter, your ticket (visa), entitles you to a 60 day entry stamp, even if you enter on the last day of validity for the visa.

The Visa is valid for 90 days to make your entry, once you make entry you'll be stamped in for 60 days.
