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 consensus from community responses is that you cannot apply for the Digital Nomad DTv Visa while in Thailand on a tourist visa; you need to apply from outside of Thailand, such as in a nearby country like Cambodia. Some users suggest that the application process is relatively quick, possibly taking about a week, and recommend applying sooner rather than later.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

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

Yes, my agent did it online, she was excellent. Took about a week to get approved then once approved leave and come back and get the DTV stamp

1. No

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

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

Im confused about pay first the e-visa and maybe they don't accept me the visa. For the financial evidence is enough a bank account screenshots and the las two payments?

no, schreenshots are not accepted. They want scanned bank statements for 1-6 months depending on what embassy you apply through.

And yes, you pay when you apply. It is a fee for processing the visa application (they do the process, no matter if the application is approved or denied).
