How can I change from an Ed visa to a DTV while visiting Australia?

An Australian passport holder on an Ed visa with a Muay Thai school is seeking advice on transitioning to a DTV visa after their current visa expires. The conversation reveals that switching from an Ed visa to a DTV is generally straightforward, provided the Ed visa is properly canceled before applying. Several commenters share their experiences, noting that documentation from the Muay Thai school is crucial for the DTV application, especially verifying the gym's licensing status and accreditation. It’s recommended to apply through the Thai consulate in Australia, as the process is reported to be efficient. There’s also advice to consider using an agent if needed.
