Rydyn ni’n croesawu ceisiadau gan bob aelod o'r gymuned fyd-eang waeth beth fo'u hoedran, anabledd, rhyw, hunaniaeth rhywedd, ailbennu rhywedd, statws priodasol neu bartneriaeth sifil, beichiogrwydd neu famolaeth, hil, crefydd neu gred a chyfeiriadedd rhywiol.

Bydd yr ymgeiswyr sy’n cyrraedd y rhestr fer yn cael eu gwahodd am gyfweliad. Yn rhan o'r broses gyfweld, bydd gofyn i ymgeiswyr roi cyflwyniad byr ac ateb cyfres o gwestiynau gan y panel.
