ORIGINAL POSTER* Hi all, curious if anyone has experience transitioning to the DTV while in Thailand? Or is it a hard requirement that this must be in an embassy/consulate outside of Thailand?
A follow up, would the embassy accept 401/Roth for the income statement?

TLDR : Answer Summary
You cannot transition to the DTV visa while in Thailand; it must be applied for at a Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate General outside of Thailand.

Sadly
You can't get that visa inside the country
You can only get that visa from a Royal Thai Embassy or a Royal Thai Consulate General in another country 😉
If you're in thailand you have plenty of choices to pick of the thai consulates in nearby countries. Phnom Penh, Jakarta, Taipei, HCMC, Hanoi, Vientiane, Savannakhet, Yangon, etc

Can anyone apply for the DTV visa at any Thai Embassy, regardless of their nationality and location?
