TLDR : Answer Summary

The consensus in the comments suggests that you cannot apply for the DTV visa from within Thailand if you enter on a visa exemption. Multiple users confirmed this, suggesting applicants should apply for the visa from abroad instead.

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