Does the DTV need to be stamped within 90 days of receiving it? I would like to secure the DTV now; however, I do not plan to travel to Thailand for another ~6 months. Can anyone clarify if the DTV needs to be stamped in Thailand within 90 days of receiving it? Thank you!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The DTV (Digital Tourist Visa) does not need to be stamped within 90 days of receiving it. It is valid for entry into Thailand for a duration of five years from the date of issuance.

Thank you for this answer. So if I obtain the DTV now, there's no requirement that I use it in Thailand within 90 days?
