Hi, I would like to ask about the DTV visa. I am planning to travel to Thailand in June, and I have already purchased my ticket. If I apply for the DTV visa in February and it gets approved, is there a time limit for when I must enter Thailand after the visa is approved?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The DTV visa allows entry into Thailand within a specific time frame after approval. Generally, applicants should enter Thailand within six months of the visa being granted, although the visa is valid for five years from the date of issue. It's important to apply for the visa within three months of your intended travel date to ensure proper processing.

WHY do you need to get the DTV visa?

You apply within 3 months of your proposed date of travel. If you apply earlier they won't process it so make sure the date you supply fits. Once you have the visa you can anter as often or as little as you wish
