ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
You can apply for the DTV visa up to 5 years before your intended travel to Thailand, according to general guidelines. However, many embassies will not accept applications if the travel date is more than 90 days away. The Thai embassy in the UK states that applicants can submit their applications 3 months prior to travel, even though the visa is valid for 5 years. It is also noted that the DTV visa may present difficulties in obtaining a bank account in Thailand.
