Yes, you can change it, but you must cancel it at the Immigration Office first.
If you need to use an agency, we can help.

If i go out of thailand and apply new visa (Non -O) and come back to thailand with it.Is the DTV automatically cancel or not?

Anonymous participant yeah 💯.
Sorry my last message wasn’t clear… I meant you should write an explanation to the consulate/embassy that you applied from to explain why you are cancelling the DTV.
But yeah to be fair mate I figured as much that the only reason someone would switch would be because of the banking headache that has started

Why do you think that you need to change from your DTV Visa to the Guardian Visa ???
Are you sure that you qualify to be on the Guardian Visa?
Are you now the parent of a child living with you in Thailand?
Curious... what's the reason ?
The DTV visa is valid for 5 years.

You can only change from a DTV to another visa inside Thailand. You go to your local immigration office and ask for their requirements to convert a DTV to to the Non-O based on being a guardian

Anonymous participant it's the only option. You simply can't have two visas simultaneously
