TLDR : Answer Summary
The initial misconception that the first visit to Thailand must occur within 3 months of applying for the Thai soft visa is clarified. In reality, there is no deadline for entering the country under the DTV; the visa has a validity period during which entry can happen at any time. Additionally, while some sources may suggest a 3-month guideline, there are no stringent checks on the actual entry date.

they say dont apply if you come in more than 3 months. but there is no check if you actually entered the country at a later time.

No. There isn't a deadline for the first visit under DTV. There is a visa validity period and you can enter at any time during that validity.
