Hi All,

Has anyone from UK succesfully applied for the DTV at the embassy?

If so, what proof was required for the proof of funds in the account? Thinking of possibly lending the 500,000 and putting in my account for the application until it is successful. (I have a remote job with regular income so will afford to live but just dont have that amount of savings just sitting there)

Thanks in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is inquiring about the requirements for proof of funds when applying for the DTV visa at the Thai embassy in London. Participants in the discussion advise checking the embassy's website for specific guidelines. They mention that applicants typically need to provide bank statements showing a minimum balance of £11,000 over a period of six months, rather than just achieving that balance at one point. There are considerations regarding the embassy's requirements that may vary, and an emphasis is placed on the online application process for UK residents.

My brothers in-law just applied, he submitted 3 months of statements and they came back and wanted 6 months of statements showing a minimum of 11k + salary p/m.

Thanks Declan. Did he apply online? Ive read that the embassy in London dont accept phyical visa applications?

Also do you mean 11k over 6 months? Not 11k per month?

@Chantelle *****
you need to have a statement that shows an 11k balance per month + a month salary deposit (so savings of 11k (and not dropping below that 11k + salary deposit if using the remote work instead of soft power) example Jan 11k + salary, Feb 11k + salary Mar 11k + salary etc etc.

yes, you can only apply through the e-visa website in the UK.

this varies depending on the embassy, is that right?

yes. Each embassy sets its own requirements.

Check the DTV Thailand FB group a lot of posts from London applicants. You need a statement with an end balance of 11k GBP. London embassy details that amount on their site. Embassies apply their own conversion rate of 500K THB.

Check the Embassy website. All the information is there.
