ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The 90-day O visa validity in Thailand starts based on how and when it was issued: if obtained within Thailand, it begins on the date issued; if acquired online prior to arrival, it starts on the entry date into Thailand. The O visa must be activated within 90 days from the issue date, with an entry stamp upon arrival extending its validity for 90 days.
