Is age an issue in applying DTV Visa? 

I’m 19 and I believe I qualify for a DTV visa since I’m a freelancer earning $10K a month where I can showcase my portfolio. 

Each embassy operates differently, and age is not a listed factor on my country’s consulate website. But I do see some embassy listing the minimum age where it’s 20. 

Does anybody here think my visa might be rejected based on my age factor even tho I can provide all the necessary documents. 

Edit - I do have 500,000+ bhat in my bank, the embassy I’m applying thru only allow walkthrough and there’s no evisa service available. 

Please help, thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The applicant, aged 19 and earning $10K monthly as a freelancer, is concerned about age restrictions in applying for a Thailand DTV visa. While some embassies require a minimum age of 20, the applicant believes they qualify based on income and documentation. Community responses highlight the age criteria, suggesting obtaining a different visa temporarily, as well as the possibility of visa rejection solely based on age despite financial qualifications.

Just get a multi entry and stretch that out to the max in the meantime. Probably be 20 by then👊🏼

If you're making $10K/month (I assumed USD), travel the world, staying at least a month in a country. There is no hurry. Thailand is not going away.

I would probably get the ed visa first. Cancel it when I turn 20 and apply for the dtv visa then

ED is a difficult visa to get, and you have to attend classes

Perhaps they'll conveniently ignore your age if you earn 10k a month...

- it is probably not possible via the e-visa process, as there is a clear trail. Maybe with a “walk-in” embassy

Not really. Age is criteria. Actual income doesn't matter for DTV, they just want to see the 500k in the bank.
