If you are applying for a residence permit in another country, a letter of support is required in some cases. With this letter from the Dutch embassy you show that you have Dutch nationality and what your income is. You can only request this document by post. There are costs associated with requesting a letter of support.
The Dutch embassy can provide you with a so-called “visa support letter” for applying for a residence permit (“No-Immigrant OA - Long Stay Visa“) to the Thai authorities.
In this letter, the embassy confirms that you declare that you receive a monthly income from the Netherlands and that the amount stated in the letter has been proven by submitting supporting documents.
