TLDR : Answer Summary
If you're planning to travel to Thailand in May, it's advisable to apply for the DTV visa approximately one month prior to your departure. However, applications can be submitted no more than three months before your travel date. Additionally, ensure you have the required financial documentation, such as bank statements, ready for your application, as some commenters note the need for the funds to be in your account for specific periods.

Not longer then 3 months before you go.

If you have the 500k and everything you need just apply now. It’s Thailand mate things can change very quickly especially around visas. No point in waiting in my opinion πŸ™

1 month before departure. Visas are usually issued within 4 to 20 business days.

I would factor in that there is a long holiday in April, so the embassy is probably closed for a week
