What do UK passport holders need to provide to apply for the DTV visa through the London office?

hey, i am planning to apply DTV from London later this month, do you mind if i send you pm and you can share your experience... i am more interested in if i need to keep money in bank account for more than few days before applying for the visa

Is it true?

From my residency nation (Japan), passport country is Australia.I Think it is a standard form, nothing special for me.

ID page of my passport they asked for , (no any other or blank pages), my picture, my ID of my residency (government issued). 3 months bank report (available online,m printed and attached it) that I have 800K THB in my local account. Approved in just over 5 days, Osaka, Japan.

Applied June 23. 2025 , approved June 30. 2025.

I applied for a work visa through a US consulate. When I called and asked about the proof of location they said a bank statement with my current address or a utility bill was sufficient.

If you apply through the embassy/consulate in your passport nation, you could just upload the ID-page of your passport. Also driver license, utility bill or bank letter with your name and address. None of this in fact proves that you stay where you apply, but they can ask you to upload your last stamp or all passport pages including blank ones too, and in the end you’ll need to start your trip where your visa was issued.

The London embassy is otherwise known to be very effective with a two-three days processing time for visas.

I've just applied for a type O retirement visa through London office. I used electricity bill or council tax bill with my name and address on it.
