TLDR : Answer Summary

The funds for the DTV visa can be in your savings account, but some embassies may have specific requirements regarding the type of account or seasoning period. It's important to check the rules of the embassy where you are applying to ensure compliance.

Depends on where you are applying. Some embassies have no seasoning requirement, others 3-6 mths.
