Will changing airlines and countries affect my Thai Tourist Visa validity?
Hi, I got a 60 day visa about a month ago. I was planning on coming to Bangkok from Vietnam but due to unforseen circumstances I am flying back home to the U.S. for a month. I plan on flying straight to Bangkok when I'm done there. Will the change of airlines and country in coming from invalidate the visa? None of that is on my visa letter but I think I entered that on my application. Thanks for any advice you can give.
Answer summary
The Thai Tourist Visa remains valid as long as you enter Thailand before its expiry date. It's important to ensure that the visa's validity aligns with your travel plans, even if you are coming from a different country and changing airlines. Be sure to have copies of your Evisa and check the stamp in your passport for the proper duration.

Your Thai Tourist Visa is valid for 3 MONTHS to use it for Entry into Thailand.
As long as you enter Thailand by the ending date shown on your Thai Tourist Visa, you are okay.
If it's an Evisa OBTAINED using the on-line Evisa system... be sure to PRINT OUT a couple of copies to show on check-in for your flight to Thailand and the Thai Immigration Officers upon arrival.
Also look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure that 60 days was entered by the Thai Immigration Officer.
