Consider taking a margin loan against your portfolio and keeping it in your bank for the required time, then you just have to pay a small amount of interest and not liquidate your investments.

My wife's application was like this, just the 6 months in one page for her Revolut account. Her application was approved in Hanoi.

I also ran a little test on the "place of issue" field. On my DTV application in Jakarta, I put "HMPO" which is what it says in the authority field of my passport. On my wife's application I just put "United Kingdom", even though her passport says HMPO too. Both were approved.

The larger pain is in the gathering of the documents, which an agent can't do for you.

My wife's DTV just went to Pending Approval today. She applied on the 26th at Hanoi.

I'm sure they can do their own conversion, but if you include it yourself, it should shut down any 'not enough money' problems

Export your July statement up to today from your banking app if you're able to, including the £12k top up. Then combine 3-4 months statements + currency conversion screenshot and send it back to them.

Personally, I would top up the account to at least £12k to be on the safe side, then resubmit the bank statements along with a currency conversion from today.

Actually, £11,500 is juuust over the 500,000, and a random currency fluctuation could take it below. Attach a currency conversion from google with your bank statements as well.
