hi does the validity counts from the issue date (approval date) or from the date of entering Thailand; or maybe I should ask - when the visa is issued does it have the begging of validity as of the moment it was issued or is that date moved forward by the embassy to be closer to departure date? let's say I applied now but flying in 2 months, I would prefer the visa starts running either from arrival in Thailand or around that date rather than from next week, if approved next week

When does the 5 year start, is it on the date the visa gets approved or once you make your first DTV entry into Thailand? Thanks.

Am wondering, does the 5 year validity kick in after the visa is approved or after your first entry using the visa?

Hi there! I have a Thai visa that expires in February. My passport is running low on pages and I leave soon for holiday so I was thinking to renew my passport in the US. My concern is, upon re-entering Thailand will my visa still be valid?

I have renewed my passport in Thailand before and went to immigration to have the visa transferred, no issue. However, I cannot go to immigration to do this if I am outside of the country.

Do I just come back with both of my passports? The old one with the visa and the brand new one? Do I need to go to a consulate in the US?

I have two blank pages left in my passport. Will that be enough to re enter Thailand? Should I just wait and renew it in Thailand when I return?

Thanks!

Hey everyone. I just got a tourist visa in my home country.

I have a roundtrip flight ticket which I presented when I applied.

However, I have some issues at home and might need to postpone my trip. I might even have cancel.

My questions are:

1. If I postpone, do I need to inform the embassy? send them the new flight tickets? Or as long as the visa is valid (before its expiration date), it doesn't matter when i fly?

1. If I end up canceling the trip all together, and want to travel to thailand in a few months, will I have issues getting a new TR visa? (since I recieved one and did not enter..) Or will I have issues entering on visa exempt?

Thank you so much!

When you quit a job or get fired, I know the extension of stay is or can be cancelled the same day. But when on a non-b visa, sticker not a stamp, that is good until it expires correct? The job status has no bearing on this visa?
