1. If I apply for a new DTV, do I need to show 5,000 THB in the same bank account, or can I use multiple bank accounts?

2. When extending DTV after 180 days stay, do you need to pay tax to Thai government?
Answer summary
In applying for a new Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand, you do not need to show the required 5,000 THB in a single bank account and can utilize multiple accounts. However, be cautious as it may raise flags. Regarding taxation, after 180 days in Thailand, you automatically become a Thai tax resident, which may create a tax obligation depending on the amount of assessable income you have remitted, along with any applicable double taxation agreements.

2) After 180 days in Thailand, consecutive or not, in a calendar year you automatically become Thai tax resident, that’s all. Whether you have to get a TIN and file Thai taxes then depends on whether you have remitted “assessable income” above minimum thresholds. What constitutes assessable income depends on the source of the remittance and any double taxation agreement that is in place. So the answer is you may, or you may not, have a Thai tax liability depending on your personal financial situation.

It can be from different accounts.

Yes and yes. It doesn’t have to be a Thai account. Perhaps research on here. Plus you might be flagged.
