TLDR : Answer Summary

It is not possible to obtain a DTV visa while physically in Thailand. All responses indicate that applicants must apply from outside the country, despite misleading advertisements from local agents who claim otherwise.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

No you can't. Agents in Thailand purport to help you put an application together but you still need to leave in order to apply

yeh agents advertise it. I know people that have got them inside Thailand and then left and re-entered to activate but I think you are meant to be outside Thailand to apply 🤷‍♂️
