How soon do you need to enter Thailand after your DTV is approved?
THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
From the moment your DTV is approved how soon do you have to enter Thailand?
Answer summary
Once your DTV (Digital Tourist Visa) is approved, you have up to 5 years to enter Thailand. However, there is some confusion regarding a 90-day timeframe mentioned by some users. It's important to clarify that while entry can happen anytime within the 5 years, certain procedures like filling out the DTAC (Digital Travel Authorization Certificate) should be completed before arrival. A few users emphasized that being late for your flight or not adhering to specific procedures could affect your entry.

Anytime you want within five years

I think to APPLY it has to be within 90 days of your flight but once you have it you can use it or not use it for as long as it is valid, 5 years , so basically no requirement of when to go to Thailand AFTER it is approved
Jason ********
about 5 minutes otherwise they cancel it and you have to apply again

There’s ambiguity between 90 days and the expiration of your visa (5 years).
I opted not to chance it and get there within 90 days.

Anonymous participant 176 There is no ambiguity. The embassy will not process a visa application if you tell them you are not planning on traveling within 3 months. But once the visa is issued, it's valid for 5 years.

Anonymous participant 176 No there is no ambiguity. You can enter whenever within 5 years.

1826 days. Don't forget leap year in 2028.Waqar ********
Within the next 24 hours. My flight delayed an hour and I reached 10 mins late. They were not allowing me entry. After I showed airline certificate for delay, only then they allowed me entry. They are very strict on this rule so never ever think to violate it and don't listen to other people. They are all lying.
P.S., You can enter anytime in 5 years or never enter. Your visa, your choice.

what do you mean ? After it’s approved you can come whenever you want. 4 days later, 4 month later or 4 years later.

Anonieme deelnemer 831 The only thing is that when you enter first time very much later you might be asked why you not arrived before.
Waqar ********
Anonymous participant 831 yes
Waqar ********
Anonymous participant 831 that was a joke. You can go anytime you wish. Its not like UAE multiple entry visa where you must go within 60 days. Its a freedom visa.
