Got my DTV visa this week. How critical is it to go to Thailand in the next 90 days to “activate” it? Or it can happen any time in the next 5 years without issues? The instructions are ambiguous. Thx!
Answer summary
The DTV visa is considered valid as soon as it is approved. However, it is recommended to activate it by traveling to Thailand within the first 90 days of approval to avoid any potential complications, as the instructions regarding this can be ambiguous.

Not sure what you mean by “activate”. As soon as you are approved it is an active/valid visa.
