Hi all. I'm applying for DTV. I'm planning to be in Thailand by March. Do I have to wait 30 days before entering Thailand to apply for the DTV online or can I do it now?

Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, you can apply for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) online from your home country before entering Thailand. It is recommended to apply at least 2-3 months in advance of your planned entry to avoid potential delays in processing. The visa allows entry any time within the 5 years from issuance.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

I've got the info: you can apply 3 months before planning to go to Thailand. 1 month before seems a little too late, as sometimes they may take more time. So, probably 2 months ahead is all right

You can enter at any point from when the visa is issued, for the 5 years.
