Should I apply for a DTV visa myself or through an agency while transitioning from an ED visa in Thailand?
Can anyone advise whether to use agency or by myself? I have ED visa staying in Thailand and thought to apply for DTV visa for digital nomad. I'm not sure what document I need and when I apply for it, should cancel ED visa? Is that going to be risky if I dont DTV visa?
Can you guys also recommend easy embassy that will approve DTV visa easily?
I'm thinking of applying through embassy in Vietnam? Could anyone advise step by step?

Answer summary
The discussion revolves around the choice between using an agency versus applying for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) independently while currently on an ED (Education) visa. Users have shared varied experiences, with some advising against agencies due to high costs and potential scams, suggesting that individuals can apply for the DTV visa directly without much difficulty. It is recommended to maintain the ED visa until the DTV visa is approved to avoid risks, and to seek assistance from the educational institution regarding documentation. The conversation also touches upon the necessity of understanding the specific requirements and processes based on one's nationality.

The Immigration Bureau has cancelled nearly 10,000 stay permits after uncovering that many foreigners obtained student visas without attending classes.
Authorities say anyone failing to meet study requirements will have their visa revoked immediately. The move follows ongoing investigations into officials accused of facilitating fraudulent visas for foreigners linked to grey businesses.

I was also quoted insane prices from some agents, I think the most expensive one was 150k thb. Will see if I can find a screen shot of that. I did it myself in the end.Nick ******
Participant anonyme 748 These are just scammers, and they can be found everywhere. Who would even consider using their services at these exhorbitant prices? 99% of (legit) agents charge much, much less than that.

nick, I'm not trolling, check this out. I've got three screenshots like this of three different companies... So educate yourself budNick ******
@Greg *******
Couldn't agree more. Many agents are actually way below $400, and they still guarantee you success in getting your DTV. Some people will just do all they can to spread false rumors here.Greg ********
@Nick *****
Exactly - I think many are around 400 USD for document check and submission. Course and 10k visa fee on top. I think that is a reasonable cost if someone does want to use an agent or their own reasonsAnonymous ******************
I had an ED visa and applied by myself. You don't need an agent. Before beginning the application I asked my school to advise on the best steps to get a DTV Visa before canceling my Ed visa and they let me know that I could actually go to another country and get the DTV visa and not cancel my ED Visa until afterwards. So I recommend you do that. You don't actually have to cancel it until you have gotten the new visa and then you can come back to Thailand and do it. But first you have to get a letter from the school saying that you want to cancel your ED visa and then after the week it takes to get the letter, you can take that letter to immigration.
