Don’t think that would matter.

Which embassy are you going through? That seems to make a bit of a difference unfortunately.

As long as you have the funds and your company permission you should be ok.

I got my DTV a couple of months ago.

Got my DTV stamp in my passport.

Left for 3 weeks, came back on Tuesday.

They demanded to see my Evisa print out.. even though the DTV stamp was already in my passport.

Wasn’t expecting that.

Luckily I did have it… at the very bottom of my backpack… which held up the queue for a while 🤷‍♀️

Fact is, no one knows.

So your choices are:

Do it now

Don’t do it now and hope they don’t change the rules later.

It’s that simple… I think.

Hi

I went via London Embassy. For company proof I sent them my business certificate (my company is UAE based) so I’d throw in your certificate of incorporation and anything else you have that relates to your ownership.

Basically send as much paperwork as you have.

Makes it a lot easier and quicker!

No translation was asked for. Not from the London embassy at least.

Brit here.

I applied via London embassy (freelancer)

Got my visa then applied for my husbands spouse visa. Neither of us have a UK bank account.

We used a visa agent.

Here’s how that went…

I have a Thai bank account, was told to put an additional 500k in my account for him.

Did that.

10 days later the embassy (via the agent) said that wasn’t good enough and that he also needed a Thai bank account with 500k in.

Flew to Thailand, opened a Bangkok bank account for him, put the 500k in there.

They then requested proof of his flight.

Sent that off.

Got his visa this morning (10 days after sending the flight details off)

Reading all the posts on here I think it really does depend on the embassy.
