Another commenter noted that they have seen other METV holders successfully obtaining the DTV based on information shared in various online forums.

I had METV. Applied for and received the DTV with a sticker format (not e-visa).

When I entered Thailand they asked I'd I am changing visas and then put in my DTV information. Thus eliminating the METV.
