ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
To obtain a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) while currently on a retirement visa in Thailand, you must leave Thailand without a re-entry permit. After that, choose a Thai consulate to apply for the DTV and review their specific requirements. Ensure you have a minimum of 500,000 baht in a bank account and proof of eligibility, such as remote work or involvement in soft power activities (like Muay Thai, cooking classes, or medical procedures). Stay at the consulate while your application is processed.
