TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation discusses the process of changing from a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) to a Non-B Visa or Work Permit in Thailand. A commenter mentions that the costs associated with a Non-B Visa and Work Permit are approximately 1900 THB and 3000 THB respectively. Additionally, they share their experience of needing to leave Thailand to convert from an O Visa to a B Visa, highlighting the possibility that the process may differ for those transitioning from DTV.

Cost of a B is 1900 and a WP is 3000. If you use an agent they will obviously charge more. I did not go from DTV to a B but from O to B I had to leave country and apply outside. My O had to be cancelled before I could apply for a B. It might be different for a DTV so do not quote me.
