i'm simply expanding upon your limited idea of income, and offering another signed document that you would already use on an annual basis for reference.  do you understand that the IRS is required by law to accept your return based upon your signature?  it's insulting that you think i am suggesting anyone lie to the embassy. if you have an option to keep your money safe and sound and at a higher rate of return rather than transferring it over here in exchange for nothing other than a document, then that is the easiest, fastest, safest and most profitable thing to do.

btw, the thai immigration official who accepts money under the table is committing a criminal act.

structured trusts and annual payments for lottery winnings are commonplace for tax planning purposes. in addition, it's not the embassies job to verify the source or amount of income it is based entirely on your signature on the form. no different than a tax return.

for the purposes of staying here, insurance payments/inheritance/social security/lottery winnings/pension etc all qualify as income.

easiest way is just to go to the embassy and have them provide you with an income verification letter. that can and will work in place of any deposit requirements, have many friends in the same situation who have done and continue to do just that. personally i wouldn't transfer that kind of money over here unless you are getting a better return and security than you would in the states.

penang is the closest consulate, if you prefer to travel then KL or singapore are both nice for a price.

hey Jimmy, neem is a fungicide as well but like anything else it can only prevent from the start or stop something in its tracks. if your plant or tree is already damaged, nothing is going to reverse it. better to get the neem/vinegar on the plant first and then prune it to be sure.

apple cider vinegar which i mentioned above is also a fungicide. not more than 1 or at most 2 tbsp per gallon of water though or else you end up with an herbicide.

i remember more than a year or so ago asking around in here for neem oil and it was astonishingly difficult to find for something that turned out to be so readily available. have a large tree near my house. i don't buy neem at any nurseries any more because they tend to mix it with growth hormone in one case or other insecticides in others.  i just want neem (sadao) and i'll address the other issues when and if they present themselves.

if you can get the fruit, that's perhaps the best and strongest to use but the leaves in my experience work very well too. in fact the next time i start a garden project here the mulch will be primarily neem leaves.

keeping your soil healthy and alive is the best cure for any disease.
