Dtv

Hi everyone im looking for some clarification regarding the dtv. I have recently received compensation in a claim against the nhs, im looking at using these funds for my DTV, i will be applying under soft power and doing Muay Thai. The problem is the money wouldnt of been in my account for 3 months when i go to apply but i can provide proof of where the money is coming from. Has anyone else had experience with being approved for the dtv when the funds haven’t been in the account for more than three months. I will be applying from London. Many thanks
Answer summary
The DTV application process, particularly regarding the requirements for funds in a bank account, has varying opinions among applicants. Some assert that the Thai visa process from the UK only requires the funds to be in the account for a minimum of 10 days, while others believe a longer seasoning period of 3 months is mandated depending on the embassy's guidelines. Applicants should be prepared with 3 months of bank statements and proof of the source of funds, as regulations may vary and are tightening. Overall, there is conflicting advice, but the consensus leans towards the possibility of approval with 10 days of seasonality under certain conditions.

One of the most basic requirements is the 500.000 Baht deposit in a PERSONAL account in you name and they have to have been in the account for 3 - 6 months, depending on Embassy.

You can not apply until you can fulfill that requirement.

As many have mentioned the money only needs to be seasoned for 10 days in the UK. You’ll still need to prove 3, maybe even 6 months of bank statement. I would include a cover letter explaining where the cash came from and wait the 10 days to submit

Do you think the Thai immigration officers are in this group to give you the magical answer that you're looking for?

Three different replies so far. Is it 10 days, or is it 3 months, or is it now even stricter? No wonder people find the advice in this group confusing from time to time. Everything I've read online says an absolute minimum of 3 months.

London only requires 10 days of seasoning so you will be fine. You can provide proof of funds so you are ok there too.

The UK embassy only requires the 500k to be in your account for 10 days. You still have to supply 3 months' bank statements. I applied last year, and my funds were in the account for 3 weeks.

They seem to be getting tougher on sticking to exact requirements- I would wait the 3 months
