When does the 60-day tourist visa for Thailand start: at issuance or upon entry?

The 60-day tourist visa in Thailand starts on the date of your arrival in the country, which is counted as Day 1. The visa itself is valid for entry for 90 days from the issuance date, but once you enter Thailand, you will be permitted to stay for 60 days from that entry date. Unlike some European tourist visas that have a fixed validity period, the Thai tourist visa allows for entry up until the last day of the visa, granting 60 days upon arrival.
