Hello applying Dtv soft power from london uk.

Asked for additional docs (2nd time) and this time asking for the funds need to be in my account for 15days but...i have moved the funds from my bank account to a 212 isa savings account for intrest 😅

My question is, how long can i take to reply with the 'additional documents/information they require, 2weeks??

I can move the 12k back to my individual bank account to show them but will that be too long wait for me to reply with the i for they require?

Does anyone have an email or telephone number for the thai visa embassy London?

Thank you
Answer summary
The user is concerned about how long they can take to respond to additional documentation requests for their Thai visa application, specifically regarding the requirement to show funds in their bank account for 15 days. They are considering moving the required £12,000 back to their individual bank account and are unsure if this delay will be acceptable. Many commenters suggest that typically, applicants have around 14 days to respond, and some comment on the logic of moving funds before visa approval.

From what I remember you only have 14 days to respond to their requests or they are allowed to cancel your application. Why on earth would you move money out of your account prior to approval. That makes no sense whatsoever.

London has been 10 days until now. They do accept cash ISA though

Ok, so at the last month you need to have the 5 00 000 for 15 days in a row?

Let’s hope you learned your lesson for next time after you get rejected. Just how desperate has to be someone not to be able to wait a few days and move the 12k for interest?🙄 How much interest you get there 4,5% per year? That would make about 550£ so how much you would have lost if you just keep the money until you get approved? 20£?

UnderstandingPeacock3600 So is it £12,000 or the equivalent of 500,000 baht? Because those aren't the same thing.
