I’veI just been granted a non O visa from London Embassy through an on line application. On the application I put my arrival date as 31st August, but the start date on the visa is 7th July and end date 4th October. I was expecting the visa to either become active on entry. This means that I would still need to get a visa agent involved as I would not have time to open and put 800k in a Thai bank account. Any advice would be appreciated.

Question to the B-Visa holders...

I got my B-Visa new now but only for 9 months because my passport expires in March 2026.

Last time, when I had to get a new passport, I got my visa for 1 year and then they just transferred the visa from the old to the new passport.

Has anyone of you experienced that, too or know any source (link) where I can find a clear information about it?

I am really wondering if it was correct what they did or just another kind of money making of immigration or my accounting office which is doing my visa?

i got my dtv visa approved 2 months ago but then my travel plans changed. do i need to make a trip there within a specified period of time, or am i good to go whenever i want within the next 5 years?

Received my approved non immigrant o visa this morning but when I looked at the email , it said it was valid from the 25 th June when I received the mail. It says it is valid for 3 months until the 23 rd September. My flight is on 4 th August. I am hoping that means that the application is valid for 3 months and I will get a 3 month visa stamp at immigration at Bangkok airport. Can anyone tell me if this is correct ? Thanks

MY Visa has been confirmed and sent. Unfortunately, the date is not correct - my visa runs from the day of approval... Nobody answers the phone at the embassy in Frankfurt. Has anyone had similar experiences and knows how to contact the colleagues?

I have a TR multi entry visa that is good through July 2025 (Given by U.S. embassy as a consolation prize instead of the DTV I paid for).

Is this a firm expiration date, or does it renew for six months each time I enter Thailand? I have read that some other types of visa can work this way. Thanks

Does the applicant need to enter Thailand within a specific time frame after being issued the visa? Or can they enter the county for the first time within the 5 year period

I started my DTV application on the thaievisa.go.th website. At one point they ask me when I want to go to Thailand, what flight number, how long I want to stay, and "I shouldn't ask for the DTV visa more than 3 months before actually going to Thailand".

Questions:

1. I want to get my visa first before booking my flight and accomodation, so can I just fill random stuff temporarily?

2. If I get my DTV, is there a 3 months limit like other visas, like if I don't enter Thailand during these 3 months my DTV is lost?

Thailand Non-Immigrant O Visa (Single Entry)

Validity of Visa: When you are issued a Non-O visa (single entry), it's usually valid for 90 days from the date of issue. This means you must enter Thailand within those 90 days.

Duration of Stay: When you enter Thailand using that visa, you will be granted a 90-day stay, regardless of how many days are left before the visa expires.

Example:

Visa issued: 1 July

Visa valid until: 28 September (90 days later)

You enter Thailand: 27 September

Your stamp at immigration: 90 days from 27 September → so, until 25 December

✅ Key point: The validity period is only about how long you have to use the visa to enter. Once you're in, the 90-day stay starts from your date of entry.

Dear All

I am going to apply for Retirement Visa to enter Thailand for 90 days.

After approval is there any window within which I need to enter Thailand or I can enter as per my convenience.

I plan to come after 2 months

Thanks for your attention
