TLDR : Answer Summary
It is possible to apply for a Non-O visa in the UK without having the 800,000 baht in your account at the time of application. However, it's important to note that your latest balance on a UK bank account should not be less than approximately ยฃ18,000. Additionally, there are agents available who can facilitate the application process without raising questions about bank funds.

to use an agent to front the financials to obtain a visa is committing Immigration fraud. You leave yourself open to arrest, deportation and blacklisting.
