You can only have one valid visa at a time. But why would you still need your DTV if you have a non-o? (Note that you need to be at least 50yo or married to a Thai, plus a few other applicable cases.)

It sounds like I should hang onto the DTV for now. Thank you for the information
My girlfriend doesn’t qualify for a DTV. I’m wondering if we shouldn’t get her the non-o? Then we could get her a bank account. What other option do I have for her? We plan to live in Thailand for a number of years if not forever

EmeraldShark646 yes I highly recommend hanging onto your DTV, I've had one for over 2 years now and it's great for coming and going, no issues at all. If you are on workation and not soft power, try Krungthai bank for an account, I had no problems opening a bank account there on a DTV but Facebook opinion says you can't do that anymore but it's worth a try, don't give up at the first branch. Also it's very advantageous if you have Thai wife or GF with you, only took me 2 visits, an hour each to sort account, debit card, and phone app/banking, good luck 👍

You can not work remotely legally with a Non-O if that is how you have a income .

You can't convert to a Non-O visa inside Thailand as you don't have a bank account so you will have to apply from outside Thailand. Before you can apply for another visa you must first cancel your current visa, only the Thai consulate that issued the visa can do that so you would need to contact them.

Immigration switched my OA to an LTR. I would think they could do the same for DTV -> non-O.
Greg ***********
Marty Pollard Immigration cannot invalidate the DTV. Only the embassy that issued it, can revoke or invalidate the visa they issued. He needs to talk to the Thai embassy for an invalidation of the DTV before he can apply for another visa type

@Marty ********
LTR visas come through the BOI who seem able to do things that immigration offices can'tMarty *********

ChatGPT says ask your immigration office.Greg ***********
Marty Pollard how many times do I need to post this? WHY do you not listen to me? Visiting Immigration is USELESS in his case. . . . . . Immigration cannot invalidate his DTV. . . . . . . . .This must be done by the Thai Embassy that issued it

in this instance immigration can't help himMarty *********

Still . . . asking Immigration is good adviceMarty *********
Greg Alexander Maybe but asking Immigration is actually good advice.

never rely on AI for visa information. Too much misinformation out thereGreg ***********
Marty Pollard ChatGPT spills out a lot of rubbish regarding Thai visa advice. NEVER rely on ChatGPT

Marty Pollard DTV is tourist visa and OA is not plus were you on original OA or extension
Marty *********
AtrustworthyJaguar OK . That’s nice. You could still ask Immigration . . . rather than Facebook.

Use Wise or Revolut. Can live easily without a Thai Bank account.

Andi Traveller get a thai bank account save money alot
Andi ***********
Martyn Goddard Depends on how you use the card. Wise exchange rates are much better than Thai Banks i find.
Ben **********
If you have proof of address in Thailand you can open Wise account.
Soon enough they’ll move under Thai regulation (wise Thailand) and you’ll be able to scan QR code to pay in shops straight from the wise app.

Ben Horovitz Strangely, 7-11 still doesn't take QR payments from banks.

David Johnson not strangely, probably a strategic decision to avoid payment gateway fees and force people into True money.
Wise card can be used like any other card when purchase above 200b.
My point is that you have options, so changing your entire visa for the bank account is not 100% necessity.

You can’t hold 2 visas at the same time
So you will have to renounce the DTV visa and apply for the non-o
Good Luck
