Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate some guidance.

Just to clarify upfront: I’m fully aware that I’m required to remain in the UK until the visa process is finalized. I’m not questioning that rule.

I’m asking because there is a real possibility that I may need to leave the UK before the decision, and I’d like to understand the consequences, not debate whether I should stay or not.

Specifically:

• If leaving the UK before the decision leads to an automatic cancellation, would that negatively affect my immigration record or be considered a red flag?

• If the application is cancelled, would I still be able to apply again for the DTV from another country in the future?

• And in a different scenario: if the visa were approved while I am already outside the UK and entering Thailand as a tourist, is there any possibility of re-entering using that visa, or would it be invalid in that case?

I appreciate any insight from people who have factual information or personal experience with this situation. Thank you!

Greetings, to the UK 🇬🇧 DTV holders , question , I am trying to add hotel details on my application but will not let me put in the correct Sub district , District and post code .. any ideas ? BE KIND and ONE LOVE ♥️ anyone in the UK had similar issue ?

Has anyone here tried applying for a UK visa in Bangkok while on DTV? Does anyone know if the UK Consulate allows it? Thank you!

Hi everyone. Would love some advice please - on how long the money has to be in the account, for a DTV? I've got enough now, but have only had it in my account for a few days.

I would be wanting to live in Chiang Mai. Currently in Hanoi, but could also apply from my hometown in the UK. Which is the most likely way to get approved?

Also, my unmarried partner (we have a child together), can I sponsor him to get one, too? We only have enough money in account for one person... is it possible to apply myself (with our child as dependent) and then to sponsor him to get one after?

Hi, I am applying for my wife's 2nd 2.5 year partner visa and they are asking if I have children with another person. I have one daughter from a previous relationship and have had standard access since she was born. Nothing changed when me and my now wife got married 2.5 years ago. Visa application Gov.uk is asking loads of questions about my daughter and then asking for evidence of my wife's contact with my daughter. Also a written signed letter from my ex saying its ok, also utility bills from where my daughter lives with my ex!!! Never seen this before! What the hell! Who asks their Ex to help them with their new wife's visa! There are no issues at all with my daughter visiting us. But I still dont really want my ex in our private business (Visa application) Can anyone advise on this bit. Can I ignore the request for signed letters and utility bills etc?

When applying for non O 90 day visa in the UK are joint account statements ok or do they have to be in my name only? thanks in advance

I'll be applying for the DTV from within the UK. I would prefer to use the workcation option for the application but I have not kept 500k bhat in a bank account for 3 successive months. I would like to know whether it's still possible to submit an application with the final statement showing evidence of 500k or would it be more suitable to apply for the soft power DTV options?

UPDATE for clarity please — To add - I have over 500k across the 3 months statements going in and out, in addition to the 500k that will be in the end balance I submit. Will this be ok?

Looking for some advice - I have the 500k going into my personal current account this week from a family member and I will be applying via London embassy. Two questions:

1. I’ve heard reports of requests for the 500k being in your bank for 3 months, is this true or can I apply as soon as the money is in my account?

2. I will apply in UK as per advice in comments!

Thanks in advance.

I’m trying to apply for a tourist visa in the uk , I’ve filled in all the relevant information twice and each time this message has come up . I definitely have not “left this page unattended for more than 20 minutes.” It’s been taking me about 12 minutes to complete it , it’s got me baffled. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi

Can anyone advise how long it is taking to issue AO visas at the moment in the UK.

Thank you in advance
