Maybe - and probably - a silly question (hence the anonymous post :-) ) but once your DTV is approved can you still travel to other countries/continents prior to going to Thailand with your DTV for the first time?

Answer summary

Once your DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) is approved, you are allowed to travel to other countries before your first entry into Thailand. Your travel plans should comply with the validity period of the visa.
