Apologies in advance for my silly questions Just want to make sure I understand this application process.

DTV Intended Date of Departure - does this need to be within the 180 days on arrival? Or is it just within the 5 year mark?
Answer summary
The intended date of departure for the DTV application must be within the 180 days of arrival into Thailand. Comments emphasize that setting your departure date within this timeframe is advisable, as extensions are not guaranteed.

Since extensions aren’t guaranteed, it’s best to have your departure date on or before the 180 day mark.
