Hey , so im coming to Thailand December 10th for 30 days 

When I return in January,  im intending to apply for my DTV visa 

My question is , will it be ok as I will still be on a 60 day visa (from the December one) or as I leave it will be closed off 

Just dont want to apply if its still running ? 

Hope this makes sense 

Cheers 🍻

Answer summary

The original poster is planning to visit Thailand for 30 days starting December 10th, and then return in January to apply for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV). The key clarification from the community is that the 60-day visa (which is a single entry visa) will be canceled once the user leaves Thailand. Additionally, the consensus is that one cannot apply for a DTV while physically in Thailand; the application needs to be submitted from outside the country, either by applying before arrival or at a Thai embassy or consulate in a neighboring country after leaving Thailand.

You cannot apply for any visa whilst you are in Thailand. Either do it before you go from your home country, or do it in a country regionally to Thailand after your 60 days expires.

Im not sure if Im understanding you correctly, but you can't apply while in Thailand.

Yes your 60 day will be ended when you leave.

you can only apply and get a DTV E–Visa from a Thai Embassy/Thai Consulate and Thai Embassies/Thai Consulates are outside Thailand

also, among other requirements, Thai Embassies/Thai Consulates are gonna ask for proof, evidence of current location (outside Thailand and inside whatever country/area any particular Thai Embassy/Thai Consulate has specific jurisdiction over)

You are not on a 60 day visa. You enter Thailand with visa exemption. So you will be fine applying for DTV
