What should I enter for the intended arrival and departure dates when applying for a UK Thai E-Visa to visit family?
Some help on UK Thai E-Visa please.
Applying for non o immigrant based on visiting family (Thai Wife) with intentions of changing to Married visa once in Thailand.
On-line E-Visa Application asks for "Intended arrival date" and "Intended departure date" does this have to be less than the 90 days the non o Visa is valid for, and does my return flight need to be within 90 days. TIA

Answer summary
When applying for a Thai E-Visa, especially a Non-O visa based on visiting family, you can be flexible with the "Intended arrival date" and "Intended departure date." The comments suggest that these dates are not binding and do not have to align perfectly with the 90-day validity of the visa. It is advisable to set the dates about 90 days apart, but ultimately you will receive a 90-day stamp upon entry. Concerns about return flights scheduled beyond the 90-day period should not cause issues, as long as you enter Thailand within the visa's validity.

Don't worry. I was in the same situation as you and received my E-visa today (18 days after applying).

Those dates mean nothing so you are not commited in anyway as long as you enter within 90 days from the Visa issue date

@David *******
I guess you plan on getting the family visit extension of 60 days.... OR will you be getting the one year extension of stay as married to a Thai?Remember that the day you arrive counts as Day #1.

Ask your airline what they might require for your flight departing Thailand within the number of days you will be first stamped in for in Thailand.

if your applying via the London embassy evisa site, different visa but I got asked to show proof of inbound and outbound tickets, to make things easier I booked a cheap onward flight to Cambodia for 90 days after my arrival. Then just didn't get on the flight, my UK return ticket is for 1 year after arrival,Jan ******************
@Mark *******
You probably applied for a tourist visa with onward ticket requirements. For Non O visas you don’t need to prove neither an inbound nor an outbound ticket, just inform when you intend to go.Mark ********
@Jan *****************
that's why I said different visa, just letting know my experience with London embassy, maybe they ask him for proof or maybe they wont.Jan ******************
@Mark *******
Yes I see Non ED require inbound and outbound tickets. Non O retirement don’t.Mark ********
@Jan *****************
education visa but they still wanted proof of onward travel to have visa excepted by London embassyJan ******************
@David *******
Non Immigrant visas is excepted onward ticket requirement.Graham ******
@David *******
Ask your airline as they are the ones likely to ask for proof of onward travel

just put them about 90 days apart, you'll get stamped in for 90 days when you arrive so figure just under that for the intended departure date,
