Answer summary
The DTV visa (Digital Nomad Visa) activates immediately upon issuance and is valid for five years from that date. However, the 180-day stay limit begins only when you enter Thailand.

Five years starts ticking immediately. 180 days start ticking when you enter Thailand.

Activating is a strange definition, but the visa is valid from date of issue till 5 years later, regardless if you use it or not.
