Do I have to use the visa right away can I use it after 1 year or longer to go ? Would it cause any issues ?

Thanks .

TLDR : Answer Summary
The comments clarify that once you obtain a Thai visa, you typically have up to five years to use it from the date of issuance. However, there may be conditions such as needing to enter Thailand at least once every six months depending on the type of visa. Overall, using the visa after a year is generally permitted without causing issues.
