Looking to see if anyone has had their DTV approved by only having the funds in their account for less than 2-3 months.

I've heard people being approved after a week applying from Taipei.

I'll be applying from London and would love to hear other people's experiences. Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around experiences with obtaining the Thai DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) and the requirement regarding the duration funds need to be in the bank account before applying. While some users have reported being approved with funds held for only a day or two, others suggest waiting at least three months to ensure approval. Observations indicate that policies may vary by country, with different experiences shared from London, Hanoi, and Denmark.

Literally a day for mine (I moved money from another acc.). Seems to me that they only care you have the funds. - That's for my savings acc. Wasn't required to provide my monthly statements/income. Just the self employment documentation on top of it.

 from another reply seen:

Ho Chi Mihh told me - 6 months of statements and a separate statement showing closing balance of 500K. Not necessary to keep 500K throughout the 6 month period. For Laos - it is necessary.

 No, read it again. I showed three months of statements but put the funds in to cover the 500,000 on the day I applied for the visa

 I did read it. Three times in fact. You weren't clear. You just said you deposited the funds on the day of the application and that you showed three months worth of statements.

You didn't say what amounts the statements showed which is very relevant to my question.

What's the point in showing three months if they didn't have the right funds? That's what I was querying.

You need you read your original comment. It's not clear at all and there's no need to be rude when you were the one who was vague.

Every embassy has different requirements and policies change over time. Best to apply after you've had it in your account for 3 months just in case others have gotten it with less but you are not as lucky

 Do yourself two things...

1. read the posts about getting the DTV visa from the UK Thai Embassy

2. do yourself a favor and wait until you have met the personal bank account balance of 500,000 Thai baht or more for 3 months.

Use the search 🔍 tool top of this Forum page...

ENTER DTV UK

CLICK on it and all posts about getting the DTV visa from the Thai Embassy in the UK will pop up to read.

"Flexibility in Some Cases: Some embassies may not require the funds to be held for an extended period before the application. For example, the Thai Embassy in London has been known to accept applications where the money was transferred just before the application, without a 3-6 month requirement. "

If you want to roll the dice and apply with less than 3 months bank account statements... it's up to you...

It's your $$$.
