Can you get a DTV visa whilst your in Thailand, I ask this because outside the immigration centre in Pattaya there’s a place with a big sign advertising DTV 🤔🤔🤔
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.

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 🤷‍♂️
