Do I need to activate my DTV visa within a certain time frame after it’s issued?
Hi everyone,
I received a DTV visa earlier this year (in May), but due to personal circumstances I had to cancel my trip. I'm now planning to travel in October instead.
Does anyone know if there's a requirement to “activate” the visa within a certain time frame after it’s been issued? Or is it simply valid from the date of issue, meaning I can still travel later and I’ve just lost the months in between?
Thanks in advance for any advice or experience you can share!

Answer summary
The DTV visa is valid for five years from the date of issuance, and there is no requirement to activate it within a specific time frame. You can travel at any time before the visa expires without needing to activate it first.

Come and go whenever and as often as you want within the 5 years. There's no need to activate it. It is valid from the moment it is issued
