Update on my DTV application at London embassy. I applied on 29th August and it arrived approved on the 5th September. 

In the documents I provided my booked flight was leaving on 2nd September (my mistake), however this was never questioned. So the flight I actually got was on 9th September.

I had a hotel booked for a week, but that was also a refundable / cancellable booking that I never used. I'm now in a condo with a long term rental contract.

I provided a copy of my companies employment contract, recently updated to include some vague details relating to remote work.

I also moved some funds around a few days before applying so I could show the 11k GBP in the bank in an official bank statement (not a screenshot or transaction history).

Seems like the London embassy is still a good place to apply for this visa.

Do you need to have the 11k in one bank or you can provide two statements with the total of 11k

Is a hotel booking necessary, even if I am already renting a condo unit?

No. Every proof of accommodation is fine. But I guess for a DTV, that is actually not needed at all. Check the eVisa web site. Everything needed is mentioned there.

So you just had to show the 500K equivalent in your bank statement? It didn’t have to be in there for a certain amount of time?
