Would it be best to get the DTV visa when in Thailand or do it before

Answer summary

The consensus among commenters is that the DTV visa must be applied for from outside Thailand, and it cannot be obtained while in the country. It is advisable to complete the visa application process before arriving in Thailand.

You can’t get a DTV in Thailand. You have to apply from abroad somewhere.

Even though it’s a evisa application you need to be in the country you are applying from. They will probably ask for proof that you are and could call you in for a personal interview.
