Travel insurance would cover that. Plus, if it's in an account for anything from a day to 6 months, it's not going to cover a 5 year visa so..

I've heard that Vietnam is a good option but I don't want to fly there and am heading back to the UK soon in any case so... Good luck.

On the UK Embassy site, it states £11,000, but I think that could change.

Yeah, I've no interest in going to other countries to sort this and am headed back to the UK next month anyway. Thanks for your replies.

Thanks Andi. Are the workcation criteria different though? I can call when I'm back in the UK, but am in Thailand atm and just want to have some kind of plan. So, theoretically, one could have the 500k in the bank for one day and successfully apply. It's interesting that things vary so much depending on country of application.

Greg Bewick Thanks for this information, Greg. It won't be an issue to fly out and in again every 180 days.

Blimey, that'd be useful. Did you apply for the soft power DTV?

Really?! I thought that once we obtained the visa we'd be good to go for 5 years. I won't have that amount in my account indefinitely so...
