Hey everyone 👋

I’m filling out my DTV visa application and it asks for an arrival date. I haven’t booked my flights yet, so I’m wondering:

 • If I put a certain arrival date on my application, can I still enter Thailand earlier or later than that?

 • How much flexibility do I actually have as long as I arrive within the visa’s validity period?

Answer summary

When filling out your DTV visa application, the arrival date is considered an 'intended arrival date,' meaning you are not fixed to that date. Comments clarify that you can enter Thailand earlier or later than the date you specify, as long as it is within the visa's validity period.

It says “INTENDED arrival date” and you can supply a flightnumber also, since it only tells the route of the flight, not the actual date or time ( just like busnumbers )

It's only an intended or proposed date, you are not bound by any flights or dates
