Answer summary
Many individuals have reported experiencing delays in processing DTV visa applications in Thailand, with some lawyers indicating wait times can extend up to two months. Various comments highlight inconsistencies in immigration practices at different offices regarding Non-O visa applications, with some requiring applicants to leave the country to apply. Others mentioned using visa agents to navigate the process more effectively, while opinions on requirements, such as the necessity for funds to be in a Thai bank account for a specified period, vary among users.

I did mine on a tourist visa inside Thailand, albeit 12 years ago now. I did use an agent, and I did already have Thai bank account with funds and phone no.
