ORIGINAL POSTER

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?

TLDR : 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.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
