Can DTV be applied for from inside Thailand?
Can DTV be applied from inside of Thailand? Bit confused about it.
Answer summary
The DTV visa can only be applied for at Thai embassies and consulates located outside of Thailand, not from within the country.

Try it . It would only be denied if it doesn't work

Other visa’s you don’t get the fee back if denied, so be sure to make it perfect first time.
Trial and error can be very costly.

There's nothing to be confused about. The DTV is only available at Thai embassies and consulates outside of Thailand.

Let's assume hypothetically that I have a passport from France, could I then apply for the DTV Visa in Vietnam or Malaysia? Or can you only apply in your country of origin?Brandon ************
@Mimi ******
you have to check with the embassy in the country you want to apply. They decide who can applyTom ********

So someone on a retirement visa for example would have to apply from another Country?Max *************
@Tom *******
Just out of curiosity. Why would you think about changing from an initial retirement visa to the DTV?Tom ********

Harder for me as my spouse is Cambodian and under 50....the embassy in Cambodia has indicated they won't issue a following visa with Non-O retirement, only education etc.Max *************
@Lopsee *********
Yes,they can. No problem what so ever.Max *************
@Robert ***********
The procedure for spouse/dependants is quite straight forward when you're on a retirement visa. It's a walk in the park.

OP@Robert ***********
even with retirement spouse and children can accompany...can't they? Just curiousRobert ************
@Max ************
Hopefully easier for spouse/dependants to accompanyBrandon ************
@Tom *******
you would need to leave without a re-entry permit so your retirement extension is made invalid. Then you could apply for a new visa.Lopsee **********
