How long is the Thailand tourist visa valid?

Visa validity period: The visa validity period refers to the time period from the time when the visa is issued to the specified time during which the holder can enter the country. If the time limit on the visa is exceeded, the visa will be invalid.

The period of stay of a visa refers to the time the holder can stay after entering the country. If you exceed the period of stay, you will face overstay. If you stay too long, you will be fined or blacklisted, and you will never be able to return to your country.

For example, if a visa is valid for three months and the stay is thirty days, then you can enter other countries at any time within three months from the time of issuance of the visa. However, once you enter France, you will have to enter the country at any time. The maximum stay is only 30 days.

So how long are the validity periods and length of stay of different visa types in Thailand?
