I have tried searching this but alas no luck so I'm posting on here.

 

How long do you have once you get the visa before you must enter TH to prevent the 1 year multi expiring?

 

If you stay things will this shorten the 1 year visa period?

A multiple entry non-b visa is valid to use for entry to the country for one year from the date of issue.

Every day you don't use it for entry is a day lost on the total stay you can get from the visa.

Thanks for your swift response  and sorry if I wasn't clear. 

 

If I get a 1 year visa issued on 1 Jan 19 but don't enter TH till say 1st May some 4 months later, will I still have a 1 year valid visa when I enter on 1st May or will it have been reduced by 4 months if you see what I mean, ie 8 months.

 

Secondly, is there any time limit that you must enter TH within, once the visa has been issued to prevent it expiring?  within 3 months for example.

if you entered 4 months after the date the visa was issued it would expire 8 months later. The validity date of the visa is from the date it is issued not the date you enter the country.

As long as you enter the country on or before the date the visa expires you will get 90 day entry from it.

For example if the visa was issued today it would expire on June 5th 2019. You could enter the country on that day.

Many thanks for clarifying, in my example if I entered 4 months after issuance the max stay would be 8 months +3 months if I happened to time it so I re entered the country on Dec 31st, or until end of March.

 

Much appreciated really helps me with my visa planning as I will be able to apply in advance as I don't need a full.year. ?

If you entered on the date the visa expired you could get a total stay of almost 11 months. That would be 8 months plus 90 days.
