my Dutch Embassy will not issue affidavit for my UN Retirement fund (coming from the USA and outside Dutch tax system). I also tried to show IO my UN pensioen certificate as well as proof of the monthly payments already being done, but to no avail, the IO does not accept these here in Samui.

One last question on this matter of switching from 800k to 65k. If I would do that myself with an IO outside Samui (any recommended) yet my permanent address is on Samui. How would that work with 90-day reporting

Oops that is of course not what I want. Problem is that an informant of an agent in Samui told me that once I use the 800k option here with IO Samui, yet with my own funds, next year I would have to continue the 800k modality and that seems strange.

@James **************

thanks. This proofs we can switch from the 800k rule to the monthly income rule (my pension coming from USA not Netherlands, even whilst I am Dutch nationality. As such Dutch Embassy will not issue visa, support letter). Will use UN Pension certificate to request 12 months extention at IO.

Following this. Stuart, if I wud obtain my Non-O (retirement) via the thb 800k modality can I still obtain my 12 months extension based on 12-months proof of adequate monthly pension income deposited in my Thai bank account? Thanks for advising.
