Hi everyone 👋

Quick question about the DTV visa 🇹🇭

When I applied, I indicated that I would arrive in Thailand about 2 weeks later. If my DTV gets approved tomorrow, is it okay if I book a flight and arrive the same day or the next day?

Has anyone done this before? Any issues at immigration or with the airline?

Thanks a lot for your help 🙏
Answer summary
You can arrive in Thailand on the same day or the next day after your DTV visa is approved. There are no restrictions on the arrival date after the visa approval. It is acceptable to book your flight for that day without any issues at immigration or with the airline.

You're under no obligation to arrive at the intended/proposed date you put on the application form.

That is fine. However, what embassy did you apply via? Some take 4-8 weeks
