TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, it is possible to switch from a DTV visa to another visa type, such as a work visa (Non-B). You can convert your DTV visa at your local immigration office, provided you meet the criteria for the new visa. It's recommended to carry your passport and current visa when visiting the immigration office and consult them about the necessary documents. Additionally, visiting the Ministry of Labor will be required to apply for a work permit.
