Can I apply for the DTV Workation visa before its validity starts in August?
Is it possible to apply for DTV Workation already, even the visa should be valid from August 1st?
Answer summary
The consensus is that while you can technically apply for the DTV Workation visa before its August 1st validity date, it's generally advised to wait until closer to your travel date, typically no more than three months prior. Many consulates may not accept applications submitted too far in advance, and the visa's validity begins from the approval date, not your planned arrival.

most consulates tell you NOT to apply more than 3 months before you're scheduled come to thailand

Many embassies will reject your application with no refund if you indicate you won't be traveling to Thailand longer than 3 months from when you apply.

The visa will be valid from the date it's approved, not your planned arrival date which has nothing to do with it. You'll be wasting almost 6 months so you'd be better off waiting at this point. Depending on what embassy, some won't let you apply more than 3 months out.
