But there is a choice from Immigration to use an income letter from Embassy when applying for 1 year extension, if that choice exists why should I also need to proof monthly deposits to a Thai bank account, doesn't make sense at all?

Okay that sounds logical, we tried to explain to her that I will use an income affidavit but she kept insisting I need to show I have a bank account, who am I to argue with an Immigration officer.

We do an income declaration one time per year, in that it shows how much income and how much tax we payed on all our incomes during 1 year.

That is was Immigration officer said, why would I lie about that? She told me and my girlfriend I also need to open a bank account, I did not start arguing with her just told her I will use my Embassy for the economical requirements.

Exactly what do you mean by that? I send to my Embassy my latest income declaration that shows my monthly income is above 65 000 baht a month, that is what's required when using that method.

Yes I read about the Norwegian Embassy, cross my fingers it will take a few years until my Embassy close this service, many countries do so, don't know why though?
