Hi Guys 

Once you have the DTV is there a time limit for when you need to enter Thailand by? Or can you come whenever you want? I already have my DTV but only plan on coming over next year.

TLDR : Answer Summary

Once you obtain a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV), you can enter Thailand at any time within the next 5 years. It's advisable to apply for the visa well in advance of your intended travel date, preferably no longer than 3 months before your trip, although applications may be submitted even earlier.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

Prague embassy told me this:

"Dear Sir,

in general applicant´s are adviced to submit visa application at least 1 month in advance but no longer than 3 months.

However the application for DTV visa may be submitted even earlier."

Applied today and I will go February 2025.
