I have a quick question: do I have to collect the granted visa as soon as possible, within the given date, or can I collect it after two weeks?

I hope you understand me ๐Ÿ˜Š

TLDR : Answer Summary
The collection of your granted visa generally needs to occur on the specified date given. However, there can be flexibility depending on the type of visa and the immigration office. Some users have reported being able to collect their visas a few days later without any issues. If you need to change the date, it's advisable to provide proof of your reason to the immigration office to request a modification.

It depends on your visa and immigration office. I didn't have any problem collecting my tourist visa extension a few days later in Phuket (ask first)

Normally you need to go on exactly they date they give you to return. If you need to change the date bring proof of the reason back to immigration and ask if you can change.

I want to submit the application on Thursday but I don't want to wait until Monday and just go sightseeing. I will be back in this city after two weeks of traveling.
