It's a fact.....I found out while I was getting my letter from the UK Embassy...my extension is due next week, I will use the Irish consulate next year..it's just around the corner from me.
I am sure that ANY Consulate will supply a letter of income...some require more 'proof' than others?? My friend just used the Irish consulate in Chalong,Phuket.
I'm basically trying to find out if there is a 'standard' across all Immigration offices....but I think each office will be different. It's all at the discretion of the officer on the day..I think.
