OPIt's a five-year, multiple entry visa that is a cost-effective alternative to other visa options. It can be difficult to obtain but it was worth it to me since I am too young for the retirement visa. I discuss it in my video here:

Thank You for your helpful report 👍
Congratulations 👏👏👏
PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.
That's what you should do... print it out.
You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.
Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

How long do you have to enter Thailand once the visa is approved? Also, im assuming that the time line for the DTV isnt initiated once you get your first stamp? Looking to pre plan with the same approach.

OPThe five years begins right away and I'm not sure how long you can wait.

OP@Kim *********

@Moss *******
Thank you for reply.Moss ********
OPSiam Legal FTW!

When approved does the visa not start right away?
Moss ********
OP@Mark ********
, yes but you have 5 years to enter the country. However, it would be a waste of the Visa if you waited that long.
