Today Thai Embassy issued my visa for Thsiland.  Valid from : 16th November, 2021 and Valid till 15th February, 2022.  My return ticket submitted to Thai Embassy is for 9th March.  Does the 3 months tourist visa start from today or from date of arrival in Thailand?

Answer summary

The validity of your tourist visa begins from your date of arrival in Thailand, not from the date it was issued. You will receive a 60-day stamp upon arrival, with the possibility of extending your stay for an additional 30 days through Thai immigration.
