Sorry all, but one more question. Is it necessary to provide a passport size photo taken in business attire without glasses? Not a big deal but just wondering if necessary for initial application process.
Many thanks for your responses and recommendations. One comment that struck me was BOI may ask for two years of passive (read retirement) income. I hav been retired for one year. Is it common for BOI to ask for two years or is one year of documentation sufficient? Hopefully it is. Thanks again everybody.
