I live in London and I need to apply for the DTV Visa. Do you have to do it all online or can you actually go to the embassy in person because I’ve rang them half a dozen times and nobody ever answers and anybody know how long it takes once you’ve applied
Answer summary
You must apply for the DTV Visa online as in-person applications at the embassy are no longer accepted. The London embassy is noted to be efficient in processing applications, with a typical turnaround of about two working weeks, provided all supporting documents are accurately submitted.

it says evidence you have proof of 500,000 tbt. In your bank. It doesn't say in a Thai bank account so perhaps equivalent amount in your bank. On DTV can't open Thai bank account.

I understood that it's financial proof from your bank where you're applying. That would be UK.

All online. The London embassy is pretty quick for a visa turnaround if yiu have submitted all the correct supporting documents, although they state to expect 2 working weeks. Are you applying via a soft power? If so you will need the documents from them saying you have booked onto.an appropriate course or if medical treatment then an approved plan
