Ask Thailand · Answer

The user is concerned about their Thai visa, which is valid for entry until February 1, while their return flight is scheduled for February 5. Responses from the community clarify that the visa is only required for entry by February 1, and once the user enters Thailand, they will receive a 60-day stamp regardless of the visa's validity date. This means they can stay until approximately April 5. Some commenters also suggest options for extending their stay if needed.

When do you arrive Thailand  ?

You can stay 60 days before you need to get an extension  or leave.

You can enter until 1 of February.

Many people get this wrong.

That date is only the date until you can enter.

You will get the visa when you enter.

So 60 days from the day you enter Thailand if you enter before 1 February

Ralph ******* · Answer

You can enter Thailand any time during the period 4 November through 1 February. Your 60 days starts on entry. So, make sure your 60 days includes 5 February.

You’re reading it wrong. That’s latest date you need to enter Thailand. Once you enter you’ll get 60 days stamp

Steve****** · Answer

Validation until only means your visa expires then. If you enter before you will get the 60 day stamp irrespective of the validation period of the visa.

But you could have googled it or any AI search engine would have told you that too. Or just using the search function of the group. This kind of question is asked every second day.

If you cross a border, let’s say 31 January and come back the same day, you will get 60 days more than after approximately 40 days you can visit the nearest immigration office and extend with 30 days more,…

I know it wasn’t your question, but this scenario is an option..
