Aha! So that's the difference. Ok, thx !!

But is'nt that Bull from the UK Embassy ? I mean for the dutch income statement ("visumondersteuningsbrief", nice word) as you know, you have to show, besides copy passport, your income from pension fund or other income, and the deposit of this money for 2 months on y'r bank account. I have it sent to my Thai bank account but dutch account is also OK i guess. So think for an embassy this is prove enough I should think. And as a sample they can/must check some times. Hope for now, this not happens in the Dutch embassy too. Greetzzz

Nope. As Robert says: After one year on Imm non o-a, it's a kind of free year extension when you leave and come in again in Thailand just before first year expires. BUT, and that's a tricky one indeed, it's only single entry !!! So in that year you have to buy 1 or more re-entry permits when you want to leave the country. Really very confusing indeed.

Think you know but you can use a combination of income and savings....

Perfect. Thanks
