Yes, but they give you a 2 year "temporary" license. then a 5 year. It seems some people are going to renew their 5 year, on the DTV and only getting a 2 year. Doesn't seem like a big issue, until you try to get your Thai IDP (live in thailand and want to drive in Japan for example) and they wont issue it because you don't have the right license.

The annoying thing with that is it would mean you’re illegible to get your international driving permit off that visa

They might? You have 2 strategies. Truth and hope they don’t care , or lie.

Anonymous participant double check if a DTV is considered a long-term visa though .

What are you selling? To who? You need to be in Thailand to do it?

Because you don’t need an agent so the agents know if someone is trying to use an agent they are a sucker and easy to get money out of

“Another company” is in Thailand and not foreign?

@Tee *******

that’s what he’s talking about

Honestly, if you quality for a better visa I’d stick with that.

They will question why you want to change from a non-imm to a tourist visa.

But there is technically nothing stopping you from applying, and if they believe you are now a long term tourist you could be fine.
