Report from London.

Day 1 - Submitted all docs (soft power cooking course)

Day 2 - Asked to book a flight (I hadn't initially) and provide an eticket from the actual airline website

Day 3 - Status changed to pending approval

Day 4 - Visa issued

It was really simple. The main challenge for me was that you can only submit one pdf in each category which has a maximum size of 3mb. Collating and compressing pdfs (ilovepdf is a great help)

My experience was a really simple and positive one. Just followed the application process and was careful not to make typos.

Any Questions then ask away.

London embassy question: Seen a number of people say the London embassy required actual flight ticket from the airline, I have a flight booked but it's a return flight and the return date is within 60 days (something like 55). Has anyone applied with and uploaded such a ticket, just worried they'll give me an METV instead (seen that's happened) if they see I have a return within 60 days. Going soft power Muay Thai route.

I just got approved for the DTV (Workcation (Digital nomad) from the London Embassy.

Friday 01st August: Applied

Friday 01st August: Requested additional documents

Tuesday 05th August: Approved

Really impressed with the service and speed of processing (3 working days). This group was a big help to me in my research phase, so thanks to all members who contribute.

Chok dee to those who are still waiting for their DTV to be approved.

Hello all! Im applying for the DTV at the London Embassy. Just wondering if I book a flight a couple of months in advance can I still go ahead and apply for the visa now or should I wait nearer the time? Thank you!

Hi! Does the London embassy accept 1 month statement that shows the whole month? I’ve heard rumours they want 3 months?

DTV Workcation accepted via London Embassy.

1. Submitted application Wednesday 25th.

2. 26th - request for additional documents (I submitted a professional passport photo, they wanted one taken on my phone (weird). Alongside another letter from my employer, the first letter noted I can "work from Asia" I asked my employer to rewrite adding in specifically "Work remotely from Thailand, and will not conduct any business in Thailand"

3. Submitted additional documents Saturday 28th.

4. Status changed to pending approval Monday 30th.

5. Visa received 1st July (8:30PM)

I submitted only what they asked for. Nothing additional such as a cover letter. They didn't ask to see more than the one month bank statement I provided (albeit I would have happily supplied them).

Over the moon, I fly Friday :D

NOTE :For the attention of UK passport holders at London office only

Thanks

Any uk passport holder applied for the DTV through London office .?

What is needed to prove your in the uk as when I return I won’t get stamped in .

Whats peoples feelings n dealing with the London office ,,?

Has anyone in the 65 age group applied ?

Did they suggest go for the retirement ?

If anyone here has been accepted by the London embassy, how many months payslips did you need to provide??

London Embassy-for a successful application how much time can there be between visa application and first date of chosen soft power activity? I’ve seen someone comment that the date of their soft power activity class was too far in the future from the date of their visa application. Would one month be sufficient for me to get to Thailand and then start my first class? Thanks

If you apply for 6 months muy Thai course for soft power DTV from an approved provider will you still get 5 year visa? I’ve read mixed reports. Applying from London embassy if that makes a difference.
