What is the deadline to enter Thailand after receiving a DTV visa?
I’ve recently been granted my DTV visa — is there a specific deadline by which I need to enter Thailand for the first time after it’s issued?
Thanks in advance 🙏
Thanks in advance 🙏
Answer summary
Once granted a DTV visa, you have five years to enter Thailand for the first time. It's important to print out the email that contains your DTV visa and present it at check-in and to immigration upon arrival to ensure a smooth entry.

Thank You for your helpful report 👍
Congratulations 👏👏👏
PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.
That's what you should do... print it out.
You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.
Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.
