I am going for my second year of retirement visa. Last year I used the 800k in bank method.

My savings are now in an investment bond so in fact I can nominate my own income, for example, just over the 65,000 BHT requirement.

As I understand it the embassy ( in my case the British one) merely has to verify the income is genuine and from a legitimate source. Is it really that simple? Or has anyone had any problems with this?

Yes it is that simple. As long as the Embassy is satisfied with your declaration/paperwork, they will issue the letter required by Immigration.
