It was crowdy but organized.

Multiple the remaining + 3800 baht

Have your paperwork done and it's an easy job

Dutch,

Did you have a new letter from the Embassy re your income -- or was this the letter used in years prior for visa extension?

It was a new letter from embassy in Bangkok.(written in June 2005)

As I made an O-A for my first visa application in Jakarta,I used a letter from the Dutch embassy in Jakarta.

This time I request the original letter back and left them with a copy, which they accepted without any hesitation.

In my bank letter I also had mentioned the total incoming money during last year(from abroad).

My thinking is to make it as easy as possible for the immigration and at least follow their rules.

As said , it was an easy operation.

Good for you Dutch. Happy New Year. 2006 will be better than 2005 for you

Just note here! If you have to renew your passport at some time, you will need a new letter from embassy to certfy pension as the number on your new PP will be different from the one on old certifying letter.
