What steps should I follow to legalize documents for a Non-immigrant O-A visa application in Spain?

Bob Duggan You won't be able to use embassy letter when you renew next year. You will need either 800,000 THB in an account or pay 25,000 for an "agent" although that route will probably be closed down next.

UK doesn't notarize anything and they just repeated the amount I told them and Phuket Immigration accepted it. Moot now though.

It's any income not just pension and it's all embassies now as they are unable to do what Immigration wants them to do which is to actually verify your income rather than just regurgitate what you tell them on their letter head which is what has been acceptable up to now.

2 questions - 1. By "home country" do they mean where you live or the country of your nationality and 2. If you're applying in your home country do you avoid all the resident certification hassle?
