Looking for some advice. I plan to apply for a DTV from the UK, as I plan to go to Thailand in late September 2025.

Timing wise, from when should I be applying for a DTV?

Assuming the DTV is approved, is it correct that I need to go to Thailand within 90 days of the approval?

Thanks in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is looking for guidance on applying for a DTV visa from the UK for travel to Thailand in late September 2025. They inquire about the appropriate timing for their application and whether there is a need to enter Thailand within 90 days of visa approval. Commenters advise applying two months before intended travel and clarify that while there's no strict 90-day rule, applications made more than 90 days prior to the travel date may not be granted.

Apply 2 months before, there is no 90-day rule but usually they will not grant it to you if you apply more than 90 days before you intend to travel
