ORIGINAL POSTER

Does anyone know if you can apply for a DTV visa while still having an active tourist visa? I’ll be applying from the UK but unsure whether I need to wait until the end of the tourist visa.

TIA

TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around the possibility of applying for a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) while currently holding an active tourist visa. Responses vary, with some suggesting it may be difficult to apply without canceling the tourist visa, while others indicate it is possible to change visa types as long as you are not in Thailand during the application process. It's advised to consult local resources or embassy guidelines for accurate assistance.

My opinion is that changing VISA type is not impossible maybe even not difficult.

The reason I say this is, I have a 90 day VISA and just communicated with a company needing English teachers. They noted if I’m in the country on any type of VISA they can take care of changing it. They do not work with people who do not already have VISA and not already in the country.

Might not apply to all VISA types.

I’m hear now almost 3 weeks and you just have to really studying the system, review posts for various insights and look to local resources for opinions, insights and help.

They ask you if you agree to cancel that tourist visa. (Thai Embassy in Germany at least did) But you should not be in Thailand of course.
