I got the dtv visa in June and I can only enter in Dec this year, would it be ok?

I heard people need to renew it every 6 months, is it true?

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The DTV visa obtained in June allows entry until June 2030, so entering in December of the same year is acceptable. There is no need for renewal every six months, and extensions apply only after a total stay of 180 consecutive days.

You have to enter before June 2030 to use your visa.

You can enter anytime. Extensions or border bounces are only applicable once you stay a total of 180 consecutive days
