TLDR : Answer Summary

The process for changing from a METV (Multiple Entry Tourist Visa) to a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) at the airport involves informing immigration officials about the new visa. A user shared their experience, stating that upon arrival, officials asked if they had a new visa. After confirming and providing their DTV sticker information, the officials updated the system and welcomed them to Thailand.

Yes. They asked if I got a new visa, I answered yes and they entered the new DTV info into the system ( mine was a page sticker type) and they said welcome to Thailand
