ORIGINAL POSTER

In the application for the DTV visa we have to enter an arrival date and flight number. But my visa is already granted, anyone tried to enter Thailand before the provided arrival date? Could that give any problems?

TLDR : Answer Summary

Once your DTV visa is approved, it becomes active immediately, meaning there's no requirement for you to enter Thailand on the specific arrival date you originally provided. You can enter Thailand before this date without any issues.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
