How long after approval of a DTV visa can I travel to Thailand?

Question

If I get approved for the DTV and get stuck in my country for a few extra months finishing out things, how long do I have to travel to Thailand to begin the process.Meaning If i already am apporoived say todat but cant travel there until feb. Is is valid to begin in 90d or 180. I know the visa is valid for 180d but, best I understand that is from when you land in Thailand, not when it was received. In case I'm incorrect on that, I cannot find anything concrete I may want to wait.    I want to go immediately but, things may hold me at home for an extra month or 2. Trying to get my ducks in a row. I asked 1 question and all I got was condescension. If anyone knows the answer, then you are much appreciated. Anyone telling me i'm entitled for wanting to know such things or wait to apply, dont bother answering. I may be able to leave home almost immediately so I want to be ready but, may not due to things I cannot control. I'm not a winter person and dont want to sit around waiting if dont have to. Much thanks

Once approved for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) for Thailand, you have a total of 5 years to enter the country, starting from the date of your visa approval. Upon entry, you will receive a 180-day entry stamp. While it's advisable to enter within 90 days to avoid complications, there are no strict conditions stating when you must use the visa as long as it's within this 5-year period. Therefore, if you cannot travel immediately after approval, you can plan your entrance later without losing validity.

The embassy email replies "You can use DTV visa anytime within visa validation of 5 years.", if you want a clear answer, directly write to embassy email

The visa is valid for 5 yrs from the moment you receive it. If you come to Thailand in 6 months, you'll only have 4,5 years left on the visa. There's nothing written afaik about when to enter however since some embassies say dont apply more than 3 months in advance i recommend you enter within 90 days if possible. I received my DTV 28 Oct and i will enter in mid January. I assume no issues.

The DTV is valid for 5 years from the date approved.  Your first entry can be at any time within that 5 years.

You can enter as,many times as you want within that 5 years.  Each time you enter you will receive a 180 day entry stamp.

I understand your concern, everywhere I look there is conflicting 'advice', nobody can give an honest or straight answer.
