When a visa application is approved, what is the length of the window for entry to activate the visa? Is this window the same for all applied for visas? If no, are there specific windows for the DTV and Non O/Retirement? Thank you.

Hi. I am applying for the DTV under the soft power provision. On the application in the travel information sections n it asks for the intended date of arrival and the intended date if departure. For the intended date of departure do I need to put 180 days since the stay is renewed every 180 days OR do I put the 5 years? Thank you in advance for any insight you may offer.

When you have your tourist visa from U.K, how long do you have to enter the country before it expires?

@James Miller "For Vientiane...please be prepared:

Suitable for apply Non B (only one in one year),

Non ED (only one in one year & cover letter must only indicate your specific level & show bank balance THB 20,000.-)," ..................James Miller I just saw your post stating this regarding getting a Non-Ed visa in Vientiane. I am planning on going to Vientiane around the 2nd/3rd October to get my 2nd ever Non-Ed visa. I got my first Non-Ed visa around the 25th October 2018 from Vientane too. So my questions are...... 1) Will I likely have problems considering I got my last Non-Ed visa just short of 365 days ago.......2) Regarding the bank balance, will a recent copy of my Thai bank book suffice, or do they require signed bank statements from a bank manager etc.....? Thanks :).....PS 3) I thought I read somewhere on here I would need a police check too for getting a Non-Ed in Vientane, but can't find the post. Is that going to be necessary too?

Question regarding WORK PERMIT RENEWAL & NON B VISA. (pls no "opinions", just solid info pertaining to my questions below)

- Passport - Spain

- Last Non B issued - Penang - Jan 15/18 until Jan 14/19.

- Last entry Stamp into Thailand - Nov 16/18 until Feb 13/19.

- Work Permit - Valid until Oct 1/19.

- Non B details - Multiple entry (Company owner)

Questions;

1) With the Multiple Entry Non B Visa, can we exit Thailand and RETURN BEFORE Jan 14/19 and receive another 90 days stamp? (on the same Non B Visa)

2) When applying for a new NON B Visa in penang does the WORK PERMIT need to be valid for a certain amount of time? (I've heard that it has to have 8 months left on the validity date)

3) With regards to the information above - should we do;

a) and in and out exit now for another 90 days on the same Non B Visa? or

b) Apply NOW for a new NON B Visa, because the work permit is only Valid until Oct 1st/2019. (if the 8 month rule is a rule, I dont want to get another 90 days and have to make the work permit again)

I hope this is clear and makes sense! Thank you in advance!
