Posting anon as no one knows our plans yet. 

I’ve looked on here and can’t seem to find an answer. So hoping someone can help. 

We plan on entering Thailand in Jan 2025. If I apply for a DTV now, if approved, how long do you have to fly in to Thailand? 

Just trying to gauge when we should apply to the UK embassy. 

Thank you in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary

When applying for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) for Thailand, it is advisable to submit your application at least 4-8 weeks before your intended travel date, but not more than 3 months prior. Once approved, you can enter Thailand at any time during the 5-year validity of the visa.

Many embassies, if not all, say 3 months before departure and not earlier that 1 month.

I applied in October and our flight is in February 2025, they were ok with that, but depends from the embassy, contact them and ask, I wrote to them and got this reply:
