Hello, need some advice if I may!
My DTV has been approved for arrival in May, however I wish to go to Thailand earlier will there be an issue if I use it before the date I stated in my application?

Tick tick tick your visa is already counting down to 5 years, you just haven’t checked in yet

What does the visa date say?

No, you can enter the country whenever you want, during the 5 year period of it's validity.

Your visa is (or should be) valid from the date of issue. So you should be fine using it immediately.
