TLDR : Answer Summary

The presence of multiple education (ED) visas can influence the approval process for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand. Comments indicate that while having many ED visas may draw scrutiny, it does not necessarily disadvantage applicants if they can present themselves well. Experiences vary, with some stating they were approved after holding multiple ED visas, while others noted that compliance with visa regulations is crucial. Ultimately, success seems to remain uncertain, with opinions suggesting a 50/50 chance for approval or denial.

Not necessarily, proving that education has failed you might. If you can't construct a proper post after 'multiple' courses it might be time to go back home

In respect ed visa is considered a higher visa then DTV - as long as you were in compliance with your ed visa extended on time and report as required its a positive record to obtain other visas ed visa is a Non-o visa where DTV is considered a tourist visa.

The chance is and stays

, your history does not change it.

50% chance to get it issued and 50% chance to get it denied.

As there are only two options, issue or denied.

Well, obviously a lot of ED/visa exempt/extensions and so on is gonna put you under the lens. Its (highly) possible you get set for an interview, with so many Ed I'm sure you are very fluent at Thai.

Is it true that having an ED visa results in DTV rejection?
