TLDR : Answer Summary

The DTV visa application cannot be submitted from within Thailand; it must be done through an embassy abroad. You can apply by yourself without hiring a lawyer if you thoroughly understand and meet the DTV requirements. It's recommended to consult relevant discussions and guides available in the expat community.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

Use the search function in the group to look for what to do. Which embassy will you apply from? Which passport do you have? You cannot apply for DTV within Thailand.

You don’t really need an agent to do the application for you, if you can read posts from the group in detail and demonstrate you meet the DTV requirements and show this clearly.
