When applying for an in-country 90-day non-O (over 50 years of age) and the application goes under consideration for 15 days, can you tell me when the visa is stamped into the passport, does the 90 days run from the date of application, or the date the passport is stamped? Thank you!

Answer summary

The 90-day validity for a 90-day non-O visa in Thailand begins on the date the visa and permit-to-stay stamps are placed in your passport, rather than the application date. This was confirmed by a comment indicating that the start date is typically the stamping date following the review period. To ensure accurate information, contacting the local immigration office is recommended.

You will definitely need the 800k in a Thai bank in your name only for two months before the year extension and should show it came from outside Thailand

I just switched from OA to O by leaving and re-entering on a 30 day exempt, there was no break in the 65k/month process, so I already had 12 months track record.

, it doesn't matter if you have enough records of transfers or not. It is because there is no clause for monthly transfer in the requirements by the immigration bureau for an in-country Non-O based on being over 50 applications. And we don't aware any office accepts monthly income transfers for the immediate 1-year application from an in-country Non-O visa with 90 days stamp.

You MUST check with your local office.

Thanks, but that wasn't actually the question. I used the 65k/month method (from overseas) so it's all good

, Well, if you are applying for an initial in-country visa, you cannot use the monthly income transfer method as financial proof. You need to get the embassy affidavit (if your embassy issues it) for monthly income or 800K baht banked money in your Thai bank account. Check with your local immigration office for detail.

, no, requirement of international transfer for the application for yearly extension. It's only for an initial in-country non-O visa based on retirement in some provinces.

Your first 90-day start date from an initial in-country visa is supposed to be the date you get the visa and permit-to-stay stamps are inked into your passport after the 'under review' period. But it could be one of the dates between the application and stamped date.

If you want the exact date, you better contact your local immigration office how they manage those.
