Is it possible to obtain a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand after working there under a Non-B visa?
Hi all,
This group is very helpful!
Maybe some of you can help my last doubts. I have all required documents.
Been working here under a non visa b and work permit since May 2023. Now since almost 2 months on tourist visa after I resigned.
I work remote for a company in the US and want to fly to HCM upcoming week to try to get the DTV.
1 Would it be an issue showing the 500.000 on my Thai bank? Or should I transfer to a foreigner account? Or a platform like wise? Both would be with a low to none activity history compared to My Thai bank which is a lot healthier.
2 do you see any issues with the fact I’m already in thailand for 1.5 year with a work permit
Thank you in advance

I inquired an agent who can deal with DTV visa, they said if you have ever worked in Thailand within a year, they would refuse me. So might be a little risky.
