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

Concerns have been raised about the potential rejection of Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) applications from individuals who previously held an Education Visa (ED). However, based on shared experiences from various community members, it appears that many applicants with past ED visas have successfully obtained DTV approvals without issues. Several comments highlight successful transitions from ED to DTV, suggesting that prior ED visa holders should not face automatic rejection. A few commenters caution that the application process for freelancers may be more complex but overall, the sentiment leans towards optimism for reapplicants.
