ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
Transitioning from a Business Visa to a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Thailand may come with complications, notably the need to cancel any associated work permit. It's advised to consider the disadvantages of a DTV, such as losing rights to hold a Thai bank account. Additionally, switching visas may require a noticeable job change to avoid suspicion of continued work with Thai clients. It's recommended to seek more information as this process has been widely discussed in the expat community.
