During the period when it can remain at 400k or more, move 400k to the Fixed Deposit.

Once that is safely moved, moved the other 400k.

Obviously have a little more than exactly 800k before moving any, and make sure there won't be any bank fees to take you below the required amounts.

Use an agent who tells you they can get it approved.

And try to negotiate in advance a (at least partial) refund if they fail.

But mainly - Use an effective agent.

There are many who can take care of it.

No.

Airlines ask for it if one DOES NOT have a Visa,

because they are obligated to fly the passenger back to point of Departure if entrance is refused.
