Can I apply for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand after arriving on a tourist visa?
I'm running out of time to apply for DTV, so can I just come on tourist Visa then change to DTV in 60 days?
Answer summary
It is not possible to apply for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) while in Thailand on a tourist visa. Visitors can enter Thailand on a tourist visa for up to 60 days, but must then leave Thailand and apply for the DTV from a neighboring country, such as Cambodia. The application process must be done from outside Thailand, and applicants must remain in the country of application until the visa is approved.

You can but the agent fees are high and you will have to fly out of the country for a few days while they finish it.

Not sure how you can run out of time.
But if you’ve planned something poorly, you can come and then prepare to stay a week or 2 in a neighbouring country to get your DTV

Come to Thailand on tourist go to Cambodia after 60 days then apply from there. That seems to be the easiest to me. Maybe someone else has a better way

You can. But they can reject visa application if found that you are leaved country.

You can't apply from Thailand and must remain in the country of application until approval. Running out of time is a result of poor planning, which you'll have to accept.

Anonymer Teilnehmer 531 Not True!!!!!!!!!!! You can stay inside Thailand but you only have to reenter. So go to Cambodia or so after approval.

Of course, it's true! It's even written on the official website. I’d definitely suggest checking the DTV conditions before telling me I'm wrong. People are being asked for location proof and interviews.

You can move but can't go to Thailand until approved. Interviews can be requested and if moved too early, you'll need to fly back.Robin ****
Anonymer Teilnehmer 531 Yes, proof of location WHEN you apply, right? But after application you can move?

Great, you did things wrong and got lucky—that's all. Plenty of people will tell you they had issues doing what you did, and many others were interviewed and asked for proof of location.Robin ****
I had been at consolat generel. even they said "Oh you fly tomorrow, so just enter with visa exemption first and then reenter" . Even the Foreign Ministry of Thailand approved it to me via E-Mail?!

You can come on a tourist visa for 60 days then leave and apply from another country where you must stay during processing of application.

You can not apply in Thailand for the DTV. You can come on a TV and then go to a nearby country and apply.
