Hi all. I'm applying for DTV. I'm planning to be in Thailand by March. Do I have to wait 30 days before entering Thailand to apply for the DTV online or can I do it now?

Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The applicant is inquiring about the timeline for applying for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) online before entering Thailand. Community responses suggest that it is possible to apply for the DTV now, before traveling. It's noted that you can enter Thailand any time within the validity period of the visa (5 years), and it's recommended to apply at least 3 months in advance to avoid delays.

I've got the info: you can apply 3 months before planning to go to Thailand. 1 month before seems a little too late, as sometimes they may take more time. So, probably 2 months ahead is all right

Apply now in your home country before you travel

You can enter at any point from when the visa is issued, for the 5 years.
