Can I apply for a DTV visa if I don't have €15k in my account for the last 3 months?

Hello everyone!

As a French citizen, embassy is asking me to show that I have 15k€ on my bank account for the last 3 months to get a DTV. I’ve got the money right now on my bank account, got it every month of the year, just not in October. Is there any chance that would still be accepted by immigration? Or I need to wait February to apply to have 3 months with more than 15k€ on my accounts?

If anyone can testimony that they got denied or accepted, I would love that. Thank you and have a good day 🌞

TLDR : Answer Summary
A French citizen is uncertain about the financial requirement of having €15,000 in their bank account for the last 3 months to apply for a DTV visa. They currently have the required amount but did not maintain it in October. Community responses indicate that meeting the embassy's requirements is crucial, suggesting the applicant may need to wait until February to fulfill the financial criteria or provide additional documentation to strengthen their case.

Just write a cover letter and explain it. You also could send 1 year bank statement to strengthen you financials. I sent them 1 years statement

How much did you have in October? If it's slightly below 15K, it wouldn't be a problem. But if it's too low, you might want to apply in February.

It's not "immigration" you have to worry about. It's the embassy. I suggest you wait until you meet their stated requirements.

If the embassy is asking, it is probably a requirement for them, so if you don’t meet it you will need to reapply

Each and every application is reviewed on its own.

What ever dozens of anonymous experts are going to tell you, you can NOT use their anonymous DTV as proof that the Embassy where you applied MUST give you a DTV.

If you can not meet the requirements, keep working until you can and apply when you meet them all.
