Hi guys. I'm leaving for Thailand in July with the non immigrant O type visa. I'm minded to apply now but was wondering if my 90 days starts from issuance or arrival. Anyone know?

Probably been asked a zillion times so apologies, If we apply for our dtv and get it does it activate immediately or when we land in Thailand?

Thanks

I have a discussion about the last valid day of my O-A visa. The immigration officer says the last valid day is the last day mentioned on my Visa. However, my agent says, the last valid day is the day one year after your arrival. In my case there is a differents of 30 days between those two dates. I think my agent is right.

Excuse me if this has been asked before, I'm unable to find anything. When applying for a DTV can you specify a date in the future you wish it to start or is it activated when you arrive in Thailand.

Can I apply now, Feb to arrive in Thailand in October?

TIA

Hi all! I just got granted the DTV Visa (horray). The issue is that due to personal circumstances, I am not able to enter on the date that I provided while doing the application, I have to postpone my entry. I have not seen anywhere that there is a expected date for the firsst entry, but I am just asking in order to make sure that I do not lose the visa by not entering on the date I provided. Thank you for your help!

Re-entry permits.

I have entered on a 90 retirement visa, so I could open a bank account etc, but will be returning home after 41 days.

Can I get a single re-entry permit at BKK, or my local IO, and come back in September using my original 90 day, plus re-entry permit?

Or is there a validity period for single permits once issued, if my plan is ok that is?

Can someone give me an answer ?

I have friend in the UK who has just had a 90 day non O visa issued 13/03/26, does the 90 day start when the visa was issued or when he gets it stamped on entry into Thailand, obviously the war in the Middle East is causing some issues for him ?

Many thanks for any help given.
