Hey if you’re on a DTV can you change to a retirement visa Non O during the 5 years? TIA
Answer summary
Yes, you can convert a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) to a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand. This change can be made at your local immigration office just like other tourist visa conversions. Alternatively, you can cancel the DTV, enter Thailand on a Visa Exempt basis, apply for the Retirement Non-O visa which will grant you a 90-day stay, and then apply for a 12-month extension after approximately one month.

Sure. Cancel the DTV, enter on Visa Exempt. Apply for the Retirement "O" and you will get 90 days. Then after about a month or 6 weeks apply for the 12 month extension.

You can convert the DTV to a Non-O based on retirement at your local immigration office in just the same way as you can for other tourist entries
