TLDR : Answer Summary
The DTV visa must be applied for from outside Thailand, not while already in the country. Therefore, you cannot start the DTV visa process after arriving in Thailand on a 60-day free visa. Instead, you need to leave Thailand and apply from a Thai embassy located in another country.

Nope. You will need to leave Thailand then apply via the Thai embassy in the country you travel to

DTV is not issued within Thailand.
