## Non-Immigrant Type “O” Visiting family:

Does the 90 day clock start on this visa from issuance or from entry.
Answer summary
The 90-day clock for a Non-Immigrant Type O visa starts from the date of entry into Thailand, not from the date of visa issuance. Visa validity refers to the 3-month period you have to enter Thailand from the date the visa is issued.

There are two different things

One is the visa validity <- that is 3 months from the date the visa is issued and is how long you have to ENTER thailand

The other is how long you get stamped in for <- that is for 90 days from the date you arrive.

As long as you enter before the visa itself expires you'll get stamped in for 90 days (even if you entered the last day the visa is valid for)
