TLDR : 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.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

So, it was ok to apply without cancelling ED. I was worried if the embassy ask to cancel.

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.
