ORIGINAL POSTER
I’m 19, I got my DTV approved at the Royal Thai Embassy in Yangon, Myanmar, despite everyone saying it wasn’t possible due to me not being 20.

I’m a high earner, a part time freelancer and also work a 9-5 corporate job. I think it might have resulted in my visa approval.

I applied in person at embassy, where I had a casual interview with the Consul General. She asked about my work and travel history, but mostly, she seemed genuinely interested in my previous travels in Thailand.

The next day, I collected my approved visa and passport.

The documents I submitted included:

- Resume

- Company Certificate

- Company Extract

- Company Tax Payer Identification

- Employment Contract (Approved and Stamped by the Ministry of Labor)

- Statment by the Board of Directors supporting remote work applications.

- Formal request letter from my company to the Royal Thai Embassy

- Balance Certificate Issued by Bank

- 6 months of bank statement

It’s not a hefty process, if you align with their criteria I’m sure they won’t make it difficult for you.

Good luck with your DTV applications everyone. Everything is possible!

TLDR : Answer Summary
A 19-year-old individual successfully obtained a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) from the Royal Thai Embassy in Yangon, Myanmar, despite common beliefs that applicants must be at least 20 years old. The applicant's strong freelance earnings and corporate employment likely contributed to their approval. The visa application included several documents such as a resume, company certificates, and a formal request from their employer. The applicant emphasized that aligning with the embassy's criteria makes the process manageable and encourages others to pursue their DTV applications.

I would not post this. You don’t technically meet the requirements of the visa and your visa might get cancelled later.

based on Royal Thai Embassy in Yangon’s requirements, age was not a factor. I took my chances to apply and it was approved.

Congratulations... Nice job, bro! This is a new record for DTV. I also believed that DTV wouldn't approve anyone under the age of 20.

It is the legal registration information of the company you work for. You do not need to have your own company.
