Hello USA folks,

I was applying for DTV and planned for a trip in 2 months but I had some circumstances that I had to move it. Is it possible to apply, get the evisa first then fly to Thailand in October?

Thanks in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can apply for the DTV visa and obtain the eVisa before your intended travel date in October. The DTV visa is valid for 5 years from the date of issuance, meaning you can enter Thailand any time within that period. However, it's recommended to apply for the visa 30-45 days prior to your trip to ensure timely processing and avoid any complications.

Yes but for your intended date make sure its within 3 months as the embassies don't recommend applying too early

Yes no problem, you have 5 years to enter when you get your DTV.

Yes, once you get your 5 years DTV visa you can use it anytime after that, remember your visa will be valid from the time it issue and not from the day you will arrive in thailand....
