Is applying for a DTV with a 3-month duration correct, or will I need to reapply later?

Question: Just applied for our DTV we plan on bringing there for a few years but we put the time as 3 months the date on the application. My question is was this wrong and will we have to reapply again later because of it in that 3 months? Any info helps!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about having indicated only a 3-month duration on their DTV visa application and is questioning whether this will lead to needing to reapply later. Comments suggest that more context is needed regarding their situation, as the DTV is valid for 5 years from the date of issue, indicating a potential misunderstanding about visa durations.

3 months for what? 3 months until you will travel? 3 months that you'll be in Thailand? 3 months for your class?

How about providing some BASIC information with your question?

Who are you? What passport do you have? What DTV did you apply for? Where did you apply for it? What do you mean by "our" DTV because a visa is for a specific person.
