TLDR : Answer Summary
A UK national with £11,000 in their bank account at the time of application for the DTV remote work visa is likely to be approved, even if the funds were not present three months prior, particularly given that they earn over £5,000 per month with proof of earnings. Several commenters shared similar experiences where having sufficient funds and proof of income led to successful visa applications, indicating that while maintaining a stable balance is helpful, it may not be strictly necessary for more than one month prior to application.

London is a great embassy...you should be fine as long as bank accounts are not empty or dormant with a small balance before the 500k landed

You do not need the money in your account for more than 1 month.

I applied, £11k in account for 34 days, sent bank stats showing this + two lots of wages going in + payslips. Not asked any questions about this. Didn’t supply flight tickets either, wasn’t asked for them.

London has no seasoning requirement for the 500k. No probs with your finances.

I’ve just applied from uk too. I was approved the first stage and have just responded to the “extra documents”

So just waiting to hear

Your financial situation sounds strong. They really are looking for the proof of earnings just as much. I actually ended up using chat GPT to get me through every step and it was brilliant. Maybe run your situation through it and see what it says

Good luck 🤞

not officially! I was referring to the fact that if they ask for further info it’s a good sign as some get rejected at that first stage
