ORIGINAL POSTER
DTV approved from Yangon.

Along with passport and recent photo, I submitted only a screenshot of my bank balance and my 2 year remote work contract from a company in Myanmar.

emailed to come in for interview 4 days later.

I was way over prepared for the interview with many months of bank statements, visa history in Myanmar, photos of me at work, website, copies of my degrees....

Interview lasted about 3 minutes. They had about 20 people report at the same time and you had to take a queue number and wait. They asked me how long I would be in Thailand, (I'm not sure, but at least 90 days) and would I do any work in Thailand other than remote work (No). That was it.

Approval notice within the hour.

It was the same day the notice came from Yangon that they were not going to issue any further tourist visas. The company that my contract is from anticipates having trouble in the future with business visa as well. So this post maybe isn't that useful for this group. I couldn't find much info about applying in Yangon when I was researching in anticipation of my application, so I thought I would just record my experience.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user shares their personal experience of applying for a Thai DTV visa from Yangon, detailing that they submitted only a screenshot of their bank balance and their remote work contract. They were called for an interview just four days later, which lasted about three minutes. The interview primarily focused on the length of stay and nature of work in Thailand. They received an approval notice within an hour after the interview, coinciding with the news from Yangon about the cessation of further tourist visas.

That’s useful, I have never heard of anyone applying in Myanmar but I guess makes sense for you if you are working remotely for a business in that Country. After the recent earthquake and civil war, I doubt they will get many applying🤔
