TLDR : Answer Summary

The Non-B Visa is specifically for individuals looking to work in Thailand for a Thai company, whereas the DTV visa functions more as a modified tourist visa, sometimes referred to as a 'Workcation Visa'. The key advantage of the Non-B visa is that it allows for employment with Thai companies and facilitates business operations within Thailand, unlike the DTV which is primarily intended for tourism-related purposes.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

I see advice on visas for Thailand. I have got a Thai partner. I fulfil all the requirements for a retirement visa but I would like to split my time between Thailand and the UK. I would like my partner to be with me so what visas would she need to travel to the UK

Google is amazing. You’re not asking for advice. You’re asking people to take time to educate you on something you can do yourself but you’re lazy.

If you want to work while in Thailand, and that work doesn’t require any kind of business in Thailand or Thai companies, get DTV.

If you want to do business in Thailand or be employed by Thai company, you’ll need non-b.

you cannot do business with Thai people or Thai companies on DTV. You cannot even do business with foreigners in Thailand in on DTV.

Two different things

Non-B is Working Visa

DTV is Tourist Visa but with some modification (Sometime they called it with Workcation Visa)

Non-B is for working in Thailand for a Thai company.

DTV is a glorified tourist visa. There isn't any comparison between the two.
