correct at least that's what we're hoping we got the five entry one year OA retirement Visa and were there for two months of it so far and plan to go back in 6 months hopefully to finish it out.

and if anyone knows anything about Thailand they can change the rules at any moment.

good luck with that the penalty is 500 Baht a day....

Tourist Visas US Thailand Embassy

If an individual wishes to remain in Thailand for more than 30 days, he/she may wish to obtain a tourist visa at the Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate in the United States, prior to arriving in Thailand. The tourist visa must generally be used within 90 days from the date of issue and allows an initial stay of 60 days

@Car***

correct, however it does not give you 90 days to be there.. you will have 30 days on your passport... as per Emirates Airlines, immigration, and the US Thailand Embassy.

A US 90-day tourist visa to Thailand gives you 90 days from issuance of the Visa. this is the way it was pre-covid if it has changed we aren't aware of it.. we have been there done that payed immigration fees for 30 days over on our 90-day Visa it was issued on November first we arrived December 1st and it expired February 1st..

FYI your 90 days begin on date of issuance of visa..

Had this one at CVS in Virginia, and it was accepted...

Unless it has been changed your 90 days starts the date of issuance... Been there, done that, paid the fine for staying past 90 days...
