Why do I need a stamped income letter from my embassy instead of bank statements for my retirement visa in Thailand?
Hello again folks, thanks a million for your help with my retirement visa question. Immigration say I need a stamped income letter from my embassy instead of the bank statements but my statements show more than the required income each month... is this usual now?

If your embassy provides an income affidavit then you MUST use that and can't use monthly income. Whether or not the Irish embassy does so I don't know.

Does that mean, if one has affidavid from embassy for income, one doesn't need to show how much is transferred to thai bank account, monthly? It is calculated by the amount shown in affidavid?John **********
