Hi guys!  

Just looking for some advice. I came here on a 60-day tourist visa and then extended it for another month. I’ll be heading back home in a few days and I’m planning to apply for a DTV visa.  

Do I need any cool-down period before applying, or can I apply right after I get home?

Your help appreciated 🙏🏽

Answer summary

The original poster seeks advice about applying for a DTV visa after their tourist visa in Thailand. They wonder if a cooldown period is necessary before applying after returning home. Most comments confirm that there is no cooldown period required and that they can apply immediately upon their return.

No cooldown, you just need to be in the country where you are applying for the visa.
