ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The individual seeks clarification on two main points regarding applying for a Thailand DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) through the UK embassy. Firstly, they inquire if they can apply immediately after receiving a 500,000 THB deposit in their bank account or if a three-month holding period is mandatory. Secondly, they question whether they need to be in the UK to apply or if they can do so while in Greece, with the correct exit stamp from Thailand. Community responses indicate that it is best to apply while physically in the UK, as doing so in Greece requires residency there. Additionally, though the three-month rule exists, exceptions have been noted, particularly in London.
