Applied at the London Embassy for a DTV, Muay Thai course.

Application submitted on Tuesday, approved yesterday.

I had allowed 2 weeks for it, very surprised it was so quick, and very happy to get it.

Did you have the 500k in the bank already or did you lump sum it to have the proof of funds ?

And did you show proof of work ?

I used my UK bank account, which my salary is paid into.

Not proof of work, I used the Muay Thai soft power

@Dave *******
nothing for accommodation, proof of 500,000THB which doesn't have to be in a Thai bank account.

Passport scan, photo and proof of course from the gym.
