Hi Everyone

I got approved in April or May I believe, unfortunately I haven't been able to go to Thailand once on the DTV due to my grandma being sick, so I've been spending more time with her. 

Do you think they'll ask any questions?

I have printed everything off, bank statements, work contract, everything even my teams organisation chart lol to show i am there working for the company. 

I will go on the 4th December, so taken a long time but I am excited.

Answer summary

The user has received approval for a DTV visa but has not been able to visit Thailand due to a family emergency. They are planning to travel in December and want to know if they will face any questions during entry. Comments from the community reassure the user that there should be no issues due to the validity period of the visa and the circumstances regarding their delay.

You will be fine. There is no period upon which you have to enter. Your visa is valid for 5 years. Do not worry.
