Can you enter Thailand after your DTV is granted, and how long do you have?
Is it possible to receive your DTV granted and then enter Thailand at a later time? I've read 3 months is the limit from visa granted to first entry into Thailand but are they strict on this? I haven't found much information about this on this group or on official sites. Can anyone advise from their experience or point me where to find more information
Answer summary
Yes, you can receive your DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) approval and enter Thailand at a later date. The general understanding based on community experiences is that the DTV is valid for five years from the date of issue, with no requirement to enter Thailand within three months of receiving the visa. It appears that the three-month limit is not applicable to the DTV, contradicting some misconceptions within the community.

It's valid for 5 years from time of issue no where does the Thai gov say it must be used by any date after issue.
Those saying it does are talking out their butt🤘
