When applying for my DTV is it okay to apply in the UK with my 500k baht in my Spanish bank as I live in Spain but will be in the UK when applying! 

Have read a lot of posts but still can’t quite understand it properly sorry! 

Ant advice or help would be much appreciated, thank you 😇

The London embassy will have a figure. Maybe 12k. If it’s in euros in Spain maybe a challenge for their rules but I’m sure they’ll be sensible

What is your passport nation ? UK ??

For what purpose for the DTV visa are you applying for?

Workcation ?

Soft Power activity ?

If soft power... which activity?

You do know that you cannot work inside Thailand with the DTV visa. No work is allowed inside Thailand... including DJ gigs in Thai clubs.

I spend my winters in Thailand working online so I feel like this would be a good visa option, I work in Spain in the summer may-October as a DJ

But work remotely online in the winter months 😇

Will be easier with Muay Thai, Language is not really covered by the Softpower option. Can apply in the UK with your Spanish account.

There is no fixed schedule you must take. The duration of the course is more important, a 6 months plus course will strengthen your application.
