the Swiss Embassy legalizes the content of the affidavit,the Belgium embassy legalizes only your signature and not the content....

that's why they won't accept it. The embassy needs to verify your income I believe. I think that's why the US, UK, and Australia stopped doing them, so add Belgium to the list.

Showing deposits from abroad means nothing. The only thing you can use to apply for 90 day non-O visa is certification of income from your embassy or proof of 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account. That is it.

you can try asking for a supervisor. But it's difficult to get them to change their mind since each office gets to make their own rules. I don't think your office is a very common one for foreigners to use

Can I use a Visa Support Letter from the Dutch Embassy as an affidavit of proof of income for my NON-O visa application in Thailand?
