Can I return to Thailand after submitting my DTV visa application and activate it later?

After submitting a DTV visa application, it is generally advised to remain in the country where the application was made, as leaving could risk visa denial or cancellation. Several commenters emphasize that leaving Thailand could lead to complications, such as being called for an interview or having the application rejected. Therefore, while technically possible, leaving the country after submission is not recommended and could result in negative consequences.
