I also had a few times where I thought they just F...ing with me, and required new original letter of income from the embassy which my Embassy never heard about before, but was so kind to mail me a new one assap without any extra charges. Did cost me a roundtrip of 186km, but thanks to my embassy, who saved me a roundtrip of 350 extra km at no charge.
Also made up the need of new pictures of house nr, and other facilities with us included. Seems they just trying to make our lives hard. But we getting better at it, and now prepared for every attack they should have. Even I already moved back, I will maintain my extension of "retirement visa" as long I can. You never know, it might pay of in the end, even I stay less than 6 months a year now.
And maybe a hiccup to what is firmly believed above is if the Revenue people start to see all these clever Immigration work-arounds as a means to avoiding taxes.
