Does the five-year validity of a DTV visa in Thailand start from issuance or first use?
Once you are issued a DTV is there a period of time that you have before you use it or does the five years start from the moment it’s issued or is it when you first use it thanks
Answer summary
The five-year validity of a DTV visa begins at the moment it is issued, not when it is first used. This means that you can enter Thailand at any time within that five-year period, but each entry will have its own end date for permission to stay, similar to other visa types.

There is an end date for the DTV visa. each time you enter, you get an end date of your permission to stay. It is like any other visa. Like a US or UK business visa
