Whatever dude. You keep contradicting yourself while professing yourself as wise. You are getting downright boring w/your mini-novels as well

The original post wasn't speaking of 'validity'. It spoke of when the Visa was issued as the start of the Visa regarding the time frame of use. Thats how I interpreted its meaning anyways. Once the E-Visa is approved for a single-entry TV, you have 90 days to get into Thailand. Upon entry, your stamp will begin THAT day of entry for the 60 days. W/Multi-entry, it begins on the day of the Visa approval NOT when you actually arrive in Thailand. Happy now?

@Stuart ********

Incorrect. A single-entry Tourist Visa starts when arriving into Thailand(90 day period before in which to arrive after Visa is issued). Not so w/Multi-Entry Tourist Visa..it begins once approved and issued

Got it. I'm 60. Not sure yet, but might wait until 62 to retire in Thailand. That way I'll have 2 Pensions then*1 private pension from 32 yrs at a Union job and S.S. at 62. I have no pre-existing conditions.

@Marco ******

Whats considered 'old'?

@Robert ********

It's Thailand. 😆 'Make it make sense' often does not apply unfortunately

Biden is gone buddy. No more open borders. The US is well aware NOW who is entering in. There's a new Sheriff in town now pal. Very few illegals in, but MANY getting deported now. That's what We The People voted for. Promises made, promises kept. Darn Skippy We bombed Iran. Just made the world a safer place. And Trump made it clear to Iran We will bomb again if they begin enriching uranium. Russia, China, N.Korea didn't buddy up and help Iran. They're on their own. And sanctions galore. Takes a LOT of money to rebuild their nuclear programs(and time). Iran is screwed in that respect now. They hold no cards.

Fiancé Visa (K-1) is the easiest route to take by far. Financial will be all on him. And it's not that much. He says they want to get married, so K-1 is a no-brainer. 90 days to get married after her arrival. If she puts in 5 years, she should be a U.S. citizen. She'll be eligible to receive his S.S. even if they move to Thailand to live. IMO it's by far the best option. Ironically, a K-2 Visa(married in Thailand in this case) will be a much slower process. Usually over 1 year. A K-1 is about 6 months, give or take. A lot of farangs dont see their Thai gf for 6 months or longer anyways. So no big deal.

@Steve ********

Not so if it's a Fiancé Visa (K-1). The K-1 is the easiest way by far. He says he wants to marry her so that would be the way to go. How much she makes isnt even looked at. Financial support lies with him. And it isnt that much

Its cheaper in Vietnam. And can stay in Thailand up to 5 yrs with DTV, so..
