What is the longest lag time allowed between being granted a 90 Day Non O Visa in your home country, and actually arriving in Thailand, receiving your non-o passport stamp, and beginning your 90 Days of paradise? I was told u actually also have 90 days from day of visa approval to arrive and still be valid for 90 days in Thailand.

Wow, my visa got approved! Somehow didn't expect that anymore... Now my question is, how long do I have before I have to activate it? And can I do that from a country different than where it is issued and trough a landborder as well?

Thanks

My wife, a Filipina, intends to apply for a Non O Visa early next year in Manila to enable her to stay in Thailand as a dependent on my retirement Visa.

The question is when does the clock start ticking; is it the day she gets the stamp in Manila or from the time she enters Thailand? The problem is she will be going to Australia direct from Manila for 2 months.

If it is from the date it is stamped in Manila she will only have one months validity once she gets to Thailand. Is that a problem; does it matter?

Just as a matter of interest we made inquiries with the embassies in Laos, Vietnam and Malaysia none of whom were able to process a Non O Visa (obtaining this information by the way was not easy. It took a lot of effort and many emails to find out the answer was NO. We even tried Australia and received two nonsensical answers before they stopped replying at all).

As an aside to this I am curious as to why it has to be applied for outside of Thailand anyway.

Thank you in anticipation.

If I get approved for the DTV and get stuck in my country for a few extra months finishing out things, how long do I have to travel to Thailand to begin the process.Meaning If i already am apporoived say todat but cant travel there until feb. Is is valid to begin in 90d or 180. I know the visa is valid for 180d but, best I understand that is from when you land in Thailand, not when it was received. In case I'm incorrect on that, I cannot find anything concrete I may want to wait. I want to go immediately but, things may hold me at home for an extra month or 2. Trying to get my ducks in a row. I asked 1 question and all I got was condescension. If anyone knows the answer, then you are much appreciated. Anyone telling me i'm entitled for wanting to know such things or wait to apply, dont bother answering. I may be able to leave home almost immediately so I want to be ready but, may not due to things I cannot control. I'm not a winter person and dont want to sit around waiting if dont have to. Much thanks

Hello, is there a requirement to visit Thailand within the first year the visa is issued?

When applying for the visa non-o family they ask for a flight nr. what if we would change the date or the airliner changes our flight which would not be for the 1st time?

I was issued a Non O multiple entry in Oct 2023, I first entered Thailand in Dec 2023.

I am correct in thinking the visa is valid for 1 year from first entry?

Hello. Great service. Thanks. I have an OA visa from my home country. I will be re-entering Thailand about 7 days before expiration. I wanted to confirm that with a new 12 month health insurance certificate they will extend the visa by 12 months at the airport as I re-enter?

Appreciate the help.

My U.S. ten year passport expires in 18 months. When getting a renewel the number changes i think. With the DTV being five years would I simply inform the Thai consulate of the new number?

I just left Thailand and am in Hanoi. I have until Nov. 29 until the Thai 60 day tourist visa expires. Would that be a problem?

I physically will be in HCMC too but I can only apply through Hanoi on the website since that's what my stamp says?

I wasn't planning on applying for the DTV on this trip but considering it. I'm going to Cambodia on Dec. 7. Would it be a problem if I apply for the visa in Vietnam and enter Cambodia a week later while awaiting approval? Or I have to be in the same country as the application when it's approved

Plan to enter Thailand again dec. 14. Trying to maximize the 5 years of validity. Thank you
