[Is it possible to get a DTV again after converting to non-B work permit and lose DTV once?]

Hi guys, I own a DTV visa. But it is likely I will get a job in Thailand down the road, and if so I will have to lose DTV. However in the future if I quit the job and wanna be a freelancer again, as long as DTV still exists I might want it again.

So I am wondering if it is possible to get a DTV again.

Thanks in advance!

Answer summary

The conversation revolves around the possibility of reapplying for a DTV visa after transitioning to a non-B work permit. The user expresses concern about whether they can regain their DTV status if they decide to return to freelancing. Comments indicate uncertainty due to changing visa rules in Thailand, with some suggesting it may not be guaranteed that the DTV will be available in the future.

You can always apply, nobody can predict if a visa will be issued somehwere in the future.

I doubt they will keep issuing DTV’s for much longer. Those of us that already have it will most likely be safe

That is not a guarantee, Thailand changes the visas and rules every year. The dtv might not be around anymore at that time as in the last week they announced that they will be revamping the visas.
