Hello everyone, I am currently in Thailand and wanna apply for DTV. How to do so, can anyone guide me with a checklist and details of how to, where to apply for DTV, and requirements.

Online via AI I am getting multiple answers and online says something else. I would love advocacy from those who already has gotten their DTV, and or has applied before.
Answer summary
To apply for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand, expatriates need to return to their home country to submit their application, as recent policy changes mandate that applications cannot be made from within Thailand. Prior to applying, a criminal background check is required, along with gathering necessary documents. Applicants must also ensure they exit Thailand before their visa application and may need to remain in their home country until the visa is approved.

Okay so I apply via Fiji, and have to remain in Fiji? Cause I have meetings in UK and Singapore, I can cross over to Fiji, submit my application and then go for meetings right?

Do I need to attend an interview in my home country?

I am from Fiji, and there is no Thai Embassy there. So if I had to apply from home country, I will still apply via their website. Say I have the docs ready, do I need to exit Thailand before submitting the documents or not?

you would go back to Fiji, and apply thru the eVisa online system

Your application will automatically route thru the thai consulate in Canberra

did you not go to the E Visa website and check the pop-up that comes up saying you cannot apply from inside Thailand?

Yes you do and you must remain in Fiji until your visa is approved

The new policy literally went into effect today. You now can only apply in your home country. Therefore you must fly home and complete there. The other new addition is a criminal background check

DTV_BegPecker Or apply in country of permanent residence.

for an overwhelming majority of people this is going to be the same. It takes a lot of energy to get permanent residency somewhere else, so to then want to relocate to Thailand after that, seems like limited cases

Yes but the choice is there for expats which there are hundereds if not thousands on DTV's applied from Permanent Resdients of several countries particularly Middle East/Asia.

You need to go back to your country, get a criminal background check and apply while being there.
