What is the process to convert DTV to open my own business/visa work permit etc?
Can you stay within Thailand for the entire process or does this visa need to be cancelled by exiting first and then re-entering on a tourist visa and converting to business from there?
Any info on cancelling this visa would be appreciated as with my timeline it may make more sense to just issue a tourist visa and not go DTV route after all. I was thinking to take DTV to buy more time but now I’m not sure… thank you!
TLDR : Answer Summary
To convert a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) to a business visa (Non-B) and work permit in Thailand, you can typically do this at an immigration office without exiting the country, although many suggest that leaving Thailand may make the process easier for some individuals. It's often recommended to initially enter Thailand on a tourist visa, which provides 90 days to establish your business, followed by a conversion to a Non-B visa, provided that you meet the requirements, such as the registered capital of 2 million baht and employment of Thai nationals.
