Hello i have a query:

I have got a tourist thai visa with 90 days validity.. i am afraid for some personal reasons i can't admit into Thailand this time before my visa expires.

Will there be any problem if I don't use this visa and apply for new one in future?

Is there any process i should follow?

Thanks in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary

If you are unable to enter Thailand before your tourist visa expires, there is no issue with not using that visa. You can simply apply for a new visa in the future without any specific process required for not using the expired visa.

No problem if you do not use this visa. You just apply for a new visa next time.

No official source. But buying a visa does not force you to travel. You can have some personal circumstances why you have to postpone the travel and buy a new visa.
