Hey everyone! Little question: If I apply for my DTV now (February) and get approved, can I enter Thailand in September/October?

Or would I have to enter the country within a specific time period after approval? Does anyone know?
Answer summary
If you apply for a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in February and get approved, you generally need to enter Thailand within 90 days of your approval date. Though the visa may technically be valid for up to 5 years, it is advisable to not apply if your intended entry date is more than 90 days away, as this could lead to issues with approval or necessitate misrepresentation on your application.

You can enter anytime within the 5 year period, BUT, the website says you shouldn't apply (yet) if your intented entry date is beyond 90 days in the future. You have to write the date when applying, so you would need to willingly lie, which is not recommended.
