Multiple entry NON O visa - confusion on validity

Featured Replies

Hello friends,

I got a multiple entry NON O visa from my home country before 6 months

Date of issue : 16 July 2018

This visa must be utilized before : 15 Jan 2019

 

I did my first entry on : 27 july 2018

admitted until : 24 October 2018

 

i left Thailand on 24 October and entered to Thailand 25 October 2018

this time i admitted until 22 January 2018

 

i want go to Hongkong on 05 January 2019 and i will comeback to Thailand on 11 January 2019 

 

i know i will get a stamp for 90 days when i re-enter to Thailand,

is that entry valid for 90 days or my visa will expire on 15 January 2019 ?

 

 

Thank you for helping

 

Provided you return to Thailand on or before the "use by" date you'll get a 90 day entry.

Hmm. I just noticed this.

 

Multi Non-O visas are usually valid for 12 months from date of issue.

 

Makes no odds for your return in January, I just wonder if the consulate made an error when they issued it.

The entry permitted to stay time is what counts when inside Thailand - you can stay longer than visa validity (that is only for entry).

A photo of the visa would answer a thousand questions.

Mine is 6 month multiple entry visa

(applied for 12 moth multiple entry visa they issued only for 6 months)

If it's a non-o rather than a tourist visa (where the multi is valid for 6 months) this is most unusual, that's why a photo would be useful. The fact that you've been getting 90 day stamps suggests it's a non-o.

 

Which consulate was this? And what's your nationality?

That appears to be an error. multiple entry non immigrant visas are always issued with a 12 months to validity.

You could go to the Department of Consular Affairs of the MFA in Bangkok to get it corrected.

What date does your passport expire?

my passport will expire after 9 years.

6 month multiple entry visa is not a error, visa application center told me before application that consilate may only issue for 6 months( they have a memo)

but the 6 months and 1 year visa fee are same.

According to their website, multi-entry non-imm O visas from Chennai either have 6 months or 1 year validity. Looks like you got the 6 months one.

 

When you come back in on 11 Jan 2019, you will receive permission to stay until 10 April 2019, 90 days from 11 Jan 2019.

I wrote that before it was stated the consulate in India only allows 6 months. It is certainly not normal.
