In previous years I have qualified, using an Income Verification letter from the UK Embassy, based upon my 

MOD Pension and monthly rental income. However, my tenants left the property in March and I sold the house last month.

The house remained empty in the months between.

Can I use, either part of this "income" or the whole amount, to get over the 800k threshold. The money is still in my UK bank, awaiting a better exchange rate.

I transfer my pension here monthly, and this is something that Nong Khai checked last year. The pension alone is sufficient for an extension

of stay - marriage. However, I would prefer the "retirement"  stamp in my passport.

• The British Embassy will certify whatever income you can provide evidence of.
• You can use a combination of the monthly income x 12 plus money in the bank. E.g. If you have a certified income of 55K (55K x 12 = 660,000) you would only need to have 140,000 in the bank for 3 months.
