Hi everyone! I have already applied for Thailand’s DTV (Workcation/Digital Nomad) visa and paid the fee aswell.

I am 18 years and a few months old. Is there any minimum age requirement for the main DTV applicant? Can someone aged 18 successfully obtain a DTV?

Would appreciate advice from anyone with experience. Thanks!
Summary so far
The minimum age to apply as the main applicant for Thailand's Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) is 20 years old. Multiple comments confirm that anyone under this age may face rejection or cancellation of their application and can only apply as a dependent.

Just have to wonder how come the e-visa system is programmed so that an 18 year old person does not get any error message when submitting an application for a visa for which the age limit is 20+...

Wasn't it 20 years old? It's written in the rules. Below that age can apply as dependant only.

It is not stated anywhere that an 18-year-old is not eligible to apply. I have just applied and provided proof of my work as well. I work as a freelancer and generate $30K per month.

SociableCranberry9047 what embassy did you apply? It's literally written in the Washington embassy as well as in many more if not all (it was also written also in the one for my home country)

DTV_BegPecker it is, and there are several records here in the group of people who got rejections due to being under 20 y/o

technically, the reference to 20 years is in relation to the age max for applying as a dependent under the dependent option of the DTV. It isn’t stating that as the minimum for digital nomad applications
