Dear community 🙏

Is there someone who has applied for a dtv after the ed-visa has expired? Is there a possibility to apply for an dtv-visa (and get approved) if I was on a one year ed-visa?

My ed- visa will expire in January next year and I am wondering if I can apply for dtv-visa after the ed-visa has expired.

Any help is appreciated 🙏❣️
Answer summary
Yes, you can apply for a DTV visa after your ED visa has expired. Several community members have successfully transitioned from an ED visa to a DTV visa, with some even managing to obtain the DTV while their ED visa was still valid.

Yes, of course. They are separate visas. I completed a one year Ed visa and was approved for DTV recently 🙏🏻

Jakarta. I wanted to do it in person to avoid any online complications/delay. If you want to do the same your options are Jakarta also (before they go online in 2 weeks) or else Taipei. All the other consulates have since gone online - I assume partly because of the demand for this visa.

I acquired DTV via soft power option. One month bank statement showing closing balance above 500k bhat was the only financial document required.

There is a lot more uncertainty/vagueness/inconsistency with required documents for digital nomads/remote workers/freelancers especially between embassies. It's understandable if the embassy declines otherwise if one is working on a prior education visa. Maybe someone else can advise you.

this is how I understand it. You need 500k baht and a proof of income . I am trying to figure out what other people who were also on edu visa did about it.

does that mean you need a fix income before for the last 6 months before you apply even if you have the required amount money on your Bank account l?

yeah, that is where I was thinking to go. I have one more question. A proof of income - did you have to give a proof of your income for the past six months ? As edu visa prohibits any kind of work, I am wondering how to go about it. I saw Jakarta is asking for 6 months of bank statements showing income. Thanks

People have obtained the DTV after having the ED Visa. In fact one guy posted he got the DTV while the ED visa was still active :-)
