Hey folks, can I ask what the UK requirements are for the 500,000 baht for the DTV (how many months in bank). Thanks so much 🙏

Hi everyone! does anyone know if the 500k needs to be in your account for 3 months before applying? we were told it needs to be by our lawyer... but I want to apply next month and have only transferred today. Thank you! (I'm applying in the UK)

DTV UPDATE: London Embassy. Submitted Monday 5:30pm, request for additional documents Wednesday 3:40pm - so around 46 hours

Request was:

* Photograph taken within the last six months.: - Please upload new photo (clear and focus) or use your mobile phone to take a selfie photo in plain white background and close up your head and top of your shoulders. (Your face must be clear and in focus and take up 70-80% of the photo.)

* Other request documents: - Self assessment tax return / Statement of accounts / Accountant's letter / Personal tax calculation or computation statement from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) (Apart form your name, you can conceal any details that you would not want to show.)

So I have taken and uploaded another picture and downloaded my self assessment (submitted earlier this year) from HMRC.

Fingers crossed they are satisfied and I won't need any more additional documents... who knows! I'll keep you updated!

Hi , applied today for soft medical appointment Dvt at London embassy got a reply stating they require a letter addressed to the embassy confirming my appointment & signed.do the hospitals supply such letters?

I'm a freelance designer doing remote work pro bono for a charity based in Indonesia, which I visit a few times a year. I am living off savings so have money in the bank. The charity is willing to write me a letter describing our relationship. But since they are not paying me, will this be an obstacle to me getting a visa? I have a portfolio of work related to my role with them. I will be applying at the London Embassy.

Hi All,

Has anyone from UK succesfully applied for the DTV at the embassy?

If so, what proof was required for the proof of funds in the account? Thinking of possibly lending the 500,000 and putting in my account for the application until it is successful. (I have a remote job with regular income so will afford to live but just dont have that amount of savings just sitting there)

Thanks in advance

Hi. Wondering how many successful DTV holders here from London embassy ? Or if any one from Uk had problems obtaining. My personal experience is only for NON B multiple entry in April this year. Instead of multiple I only get single entry but was charged x3 for multiple and I know I can forget about the refund.

I applied for the visa and received it within 5 days. I applied on Monday evening, received an email requesting additional documents by Wednesday midday, submitted them straight away, and was approved by the end of the day on Friday.

To be honest, I approached it quite casually and didn’t put much thought or effort into it. When I first submitted the application, I included some documents, but as I said, not much effort: I attached a plane ticket for an onward journey (I wasn’t sure when I actually wanted to travel yet), one bank statement, one payslip, and one of my contracts (which was only for 3 months). They then requested additional documents (as shown in the picture).

For proof of remote employment, I wrote the letter myself (with help from ChatGPT), explaining that I do contract roles remotely, etc. I didn’t use anything fancy, just a Word document, and signed it as the director of my company. I didn’t even sign it manually—I just typed my full name and added 'Director of [company name]'. I then took screenshots of my last 3 job contracts (3 months each) and included them in the letter.

Note: I only established my company in January this year, and I started contracting the same month. I also submitted a bank statement showing three times the amount of money they required. For the photo, I took a selfie with my phone and edited the background to white as requested.

I also bought a proper plane ticket and sent the proof of it.

Settle status doc as proof of address.

That was it. It was for the UK embassy. I hope this helps!

Following my DTV approval last week from the Uk embassy London (took 3.5 days); I applied to a dependant DTV for my child, which arrived this morning. The dependant DTV took 36 hours to receive from the point of payment. Both cost £300 EACH and needed seperate applications. I submitted the same proof of funds for both my application and for the dependant visa. Process for both was very straight forward, the dependant visa needed a Birth Certificate but apart from this, both were almost identical. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
