My DTV just got approved London Embassy. Took 7 days. Workcation route I'm a self employed full-time youtuber. They asked for a portfolio (provided youtube channel screenshots of analytics etc). A coverletter. Most recent bank statement. Passport photo. Most recent tax return. Passport info. Proof of address (used water utility bill). Flight number (just the number) and accomation details for Thailand (hotel). Very easy, very quick.

Congratulations. In the passport details of the online application under “ place of issue” did you type in ‘HMPO’

Or ‘UK’ ?

hi does the London embassy require a minimum amount for proof of income each month? I’m planning to switch to remote work and become a freelancer in the near future but worried that my monthly income will be too low to begin with and I won’t have a convincing application.
