What do the dates on a recently issued Thai visa mean?

3/31/2018 3:20:51 PM

A Google Image search for ‘thai visa’ shows that such visas have two dates labeled “date of issue” and “enter before”. These are likely dates C and D respectively.

“Date of issue” (C) is simply when the visa was granted.

“Enter before” (D) dictates that the visa holder must enter Thailand prior to this date in order to use the visa. After that date, the visa is no longer valid for entry. You may still remain in Thailand if you enter before this date and have not stayed longer than allowed by the visa type.

The type or category of the visa indicates how long the visa holder can remain in Thailand after entering. E.g. a single entry tourist visa (TR) allows up to 60 days.
