ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone, next month I’ll be traveling to Thailand with a tourist visa, but I’m interested in applying for the Digital Nomad DTv Visa once I’m there. I have a few questions and would really appreciate if someone with experience could help me out:

1. Is it possible to apply for the DTv Visa easily from within Thailand while on a tourist visa?

2. If not, would it be possible to go to a nearby country, like Cambodia, and apply for it from there?

Thank you so much in advance for any advice or experiences you can share!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The Digital Nomad DTv Visa cannot be applied for from within Thailand while on a tourist visa. It is advised to apply for the DTv Visa from outside Thailand, such as a nearby country like Cambodia, which may take about a week for the application process.

1. No

2. Yes , give it about a week trip somewhere near by.

But you’re probably best applying for it now. Why not?
