How long does proof of funds need to be in the bank for a DTV application at the London embassy?

Question

Hi everyone,

I’m applying for the DTV from the London embassy and wanted to know how long the proof of funds need to be in your bank account?

I emailed them months ago and they said 10 days but wanted to know if this had changed/got longer from anyone’s experience?

Thank you!

The requirements for proof of funds when applying for a Thai DTV visa (Digital Nomad Visa) from the London embassy vary based on individual experiences and official guidelines. While the embassy previously indicated that proof of funds needs to be in the bank for 10 days, recent experiences shared by users suggest that a more prudent approach would be to maintain the required funds for at least 3 months. Various comments indicate that showing consistent funds is essential, with some users mentioning they maintained balances over longer periods for safety. It's always recommended to verify the latest requirements directly with the embassy to ensure compliance.

The only holding period I can confirm is the one for the Muay Thai (soft power) category, where the balance needs to be at least the equivalent of 500,000 THB for each of the past 3 months. That is longer than the 10 days you were told. I don't know whether the London embassy asks for something different or has changed its rule, so check the current requirement with them directly, and treat the 3 months as a safe margin if the category is Muay Thai.

In fact, it had to be for three months; missing even one day wouldn't work. That's what they told me when I applied. Because I hadn't prepared beforehand, I provided two different accounts to prove I consistently had that money.

I obtained my DTV in mid-August, and subsequently applied for my son's DTV depedent, which was also obtained in mid-September, allowing him to enter the country smoothly.

I got multiple answers so just left it in for 4 months each. The document above doesn't make it any clearer.
