Has anyone switched from an education visa to a DTV?

For example, if I stay in Thailand on a 6-month education visa and then leave the country to apply for a DTV at a Thai embassy in another country, could the previous education visa create any issues with the DTV application or re-entering Thailand?

Answer summary

Many expats have successfully transitioned from an education visa to a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Thailand. Generally, leaving Thailand to apply for a DTV at a Thai embassy poses no significant issues related to a prior education visa. However, issues may arise if the education institution was deemed fraudulent, potentially impacting the DTV application or re-entry into Thailand.

There are plenty of examples in this group of people doing exactly that: moved from education visa or had education visa in the past and then obtained a DTV.
