ORIGINAL POSTERHi 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 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary
You can book a flight to Thailand the same day your DTV visa is approved. Once the visa is issued, you are free to travel anytime, regardless of the intended arrival date you provided in your application.

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