Hi there

I would love to get some info from recent DTV applicants to the UK embassy. I'm most interested in the financial requirements. Some posts in this group are only weeks apart but they seem to suggest different rules were applied. Anyone have a definitive answer?

Thanks in advance 😀

TLDR : Answer Summary
This discussion centers on the financial requirements for DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) applicants at the UK embassy in Thailand. Various commenters share their personal experiences, indicating that the financial criteria can differ for each applicant. Key points include that some authorities are accepting recent deposits and allowing funds to be shown from accounts in other names, while others stress the importance of having the funds in the applicant's name. The consensus suggests a lack of a definitive rule, with individual applications being judged on a case-by-case basis.

I recently applied as a dependent (with my husband being the DTV holder) and showed my husbands thai bank statements (3 months worth) and the money (500K baht) had been in his account for the whole time AND a letter of financial support HOWEVER they did request further documentation that the money (£11,000) had to be in an account in MY name...

Fortunately between myself, my mum and my MIL we had it all transferred to one account to show the final balance as £11,000. I had to have the bank statements printed and a "wet stamp" from the branch!

Been a couple of posts recently stating the money does not need seeding. Can be a recent deposit at UK Thai Embassy.

I don't know but some comments I've seen imply they require 3 months of statements but the balance doesn't have to be for the full amount for the whole 3 months. It's clear as mud 🤣

@Greg *******
thanks for the reply. I agree but I have also seen a comment dated 16 August saying they had to show 3 months of bank statements, hence the question.

Anonymous participant That is the issue. Often it is not consistent. It can be down to the person who requests your application.

@Greg *******
do you mean it varies by applicant or embassy staff member (or both!)?
Greg ********
Anonymous participant It certainly varies by embassy. We have also seen where recent deposits are accepted in the UK. You said you saw a post where 3 months were required. I can only assume it was due to a staff member???
