ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello everyone,  

I’m seeking some information and advice. I’m planning to apply for a DTV in Australia as I will be visiting for educational purposes. Currently I am living in Thailand. Can I apply for the visa while I’m in Australia, or do I need to apply before arriving? Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated.  

Thank you!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about applying for a DTV visa in Australia for educational purposes while currently residing in Thailand. Responses indicate that the DTV visa is not applicable for studying, and the appropriate visa for educational purposes in Thailand is the Ed visa. Additionally, it's clarified that the user must apply for the visa from outside Thailand, ideally after traveling to Australia.

There's no DTV visa for educational purposes.... there's the Ed Visa for studying in Thailand. Suggest you rethink your plan.

hey brother I think you and others have read the post wrong. The person said they already live in Thailand. They will be traveling to Australia for education purposes.

I assume that means while in Australia they want to apply for the DTV for whatever reason and use it on the return to Thailand 🌞

If im not wrong, you must be South Korean or South Korean who has dual citizenship, yes you can apply in Australia but as you stated that this for education purpose and you in To Thailand now, you may consider student visa as well. This may help your situation easier but i if you do really need DTV, you may have to fly to Laos.

Hope this help.

First of all, you are not permitted to apply while you are in Thailand. Definitely you must be in Australia.
