Can you apply for a DTV visa while holding a multiple entry ED visa?
I want to know if someone have ever applied DTV with multiple entry ED visa.
Answer summary
The inquiry is about the possibility of applying for a DTV visa while currently holding a multiple entry ED visa. Users have shared personal experiences, confirming that it is possible to apply for a DTV visa from outside Thailand (in this case, from Vietnam) without needing to cancel the ED visa first, and that immigration officers will allow the transition upon re-entry.

I just did this today. I was on the ED, left to go to Vietnam (without ED permission) and applied form the DTV from vietnam. Flew back today and it was fine.

So, it was ok to apply without cancelling ED. I was worried if the embassy ask to cancel.Emily ****************
Mine expires in a couple of weeks, so I just left without 'permission' and they were fine. I just explained I was moving over to the DTV visa and it hadn't come through yet. They gave me 60 day tourist visa and said to leave when DTV came through and re enter on that.

I read somewhere someone who did it without canceling the ED visa and didn’t make any problem and when they entered, immigration officer asked what visa they wanted to use.
