TLDR : Answer Summary
The general consensus among respondents is that there is no need to enter Thailand within 3 months to validate the DTV visa. Once approved, the visa is considered valid immediately for 5 years, although one comment questioned this, asking for more details on the applicant's nationality and qualifications.
