ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, I am applying through the soft power option/ Muay Thai. Does anyone know how soon after entering Thailand the course must start? For example, if a book a course to begin in March, would I be able to enter Thailand a couple weeks before the start date of the course?

TLDR : Answer Summary

You can enter Thailand at any time during the validity of your visa. For example, if your Muay Thai course starts on March 1 and your DTV visa allows entry from mid-February, entering Thailand a few weeks before your course begins is acceptable. The key factor is the approval of your visa, which grants you the flexibility to enter the country.

I’ve also got the same question - I’ve booked my course for April but wondered if it would be an issue coming to thailand the month before on my DTV

It's your visa that allows you to enter not your course. Once you have the visa you can come and go as you like it's multi entry so enjoy you live in Thailand 5 years now

You can enter anytime during the validity of the visa e.g. Your course starts Feb 27, and your DTV starts Feb 5th then you can enter from Feb 5th. A course starting a few weeks after arrival will be ok.
