Answer summary
The validity of a Thai visa, including the DTV visa, begins from the day it is issued by the embassy. However, the permission to stay starts from your first entry into Thailand, granting you 180 days each time you enter.

The validity of all Thai visas starts from the day it is issued by the embassy.

Your permission to stay starts the day you enter, and you'll receive 180 days each time you enter.
