Is there an “entry validity date”?

If granted the visa, do i have to enter by a certain date, does it expire? I dont mean the 5 years.

I had tourist visas years ago that gave you 90 days TO ENTER THE COUNTRY. If you did not enter within 90 days of the issue date, it expired.

How does the dtv visa work? Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) doesn't have a strict entry validity date. Once granted, you can enter Thailand at any time, but most embassies advise not to apply for the visa more than three months in advance of your planned entry. The visa itself remains valid for five years, and the count down for validity does not start until you actually enter the country.

Most Embassies recommend on their website, that you not apply longer than 3 month before entering Thailand, no matter if it is DTV or other visa.
