I just want someone to help me verify that the actual start date of the 90 days you are allowed to stay in Thailand on a NON-O (marriage VISA in my case) starts when you enter Thailand and not the issue date of the VISA. I know they give you a date on the Approval Notice stating the last date before it expires and you have to enter Thailand before that date. Is this correct as this was the case when I went there on a Tourist VISA last year?

My second question is has anyone used an income verification letter issued from their retirement fund institution as proof of income when applying for a NON-O VISA using the E-VISA to apply and did you have any issues using the letter as proof of monthly income? Thanks for all of your help!

Starts on the day you enter Thailand

That's what I thought. Thank you

For the second question better use a bank account statement showing sufficient savings rather than monthly/yearly income to avoid other complicate consequences.

Same story when extending stay permit at Thai local immigration after the first 3 month, better use the required funds amount in a Thai bank account rather than declearing an income, due to 181 days taxation rule.
