The 90-day Non-Immigrant Visa is a single-entry visa that allows you to enter and stay in Thailand for, as the name suggests, 90 days. It is issued to those who wish to be involved in performing official duties, religious activities, conducting business, working, studying, visiting family, and other activities in Thailand.

You can apply for a simple extension of 7 days, but if you plan to stay in Thailand longer, you can apply for an extension of 1 year, as long as you have chosen one of the visa’s subcategories (Retirement Visa, Marriage Visa, Education Visa, or Business Visa) and meet its requirements.

Please note that the 90-day Non-Immigrant Visa is not the same as the Thailand Tourist Visa. If you’re looking to apply for a Thailand Tourist Visa, you’ll have to contact the Thai Embassy or Consulate in your country of residence.

Benefits of the 90-Day Non-Immigrant Thailand Visa

You are not allowed to work on a 90-day Non-Immigrant Visa unless you apply for a Business Visa or a work permit alongside a Marriage Visa, but that does not mean you cannot open a Thai bank account and enjoy the convenience that comes with one.

It is also possible to obtain a re-entry permit on a 90-day Visa, which will allow you to leave and re-enter Thailand during your visa’s validity period. Note however that this does not extend the validity duration of your visa. If you leave without obtaining a re-entry permit, you may not be allowed back into the country. Re-entry permits can be obtained at an immigration office or at the immigration desk of a Thai international airport.
