FYI: arrived Da Nang Sunday Oct 20. Applied evisa that night to Thai embassy in HCMC. 

Documents were pdfs:

1. a single statement with funds in Australian bank account of 500,000 baht equivalent. 

2. Proof of location: passport stamp into Vietnam and receipt from accommodation in Vietnam. 

3. My work contract with my Australian company showing I can work remotely.

Evisa received via email on Wed Oct 23 at 10pm.

Now back in Thailand with a 180 day stamp on my passport.

When you say "single statement", does that mean statement for the last 1 month of transaction?

@Dennis *****

I got a statement from my bank which was about 2 months to Oct 17. There was almost nothing in there at the beginning of that period, I transferred from other accounts and only had the total required for about a week before the statement date.

What does your contract say that indicates you can work remotely? Is it a new contract?

@Craigus ********

that’s what I wanted to know and hoped for as I am going to apply with a different countries bank account than my passport origin. So it seems there is no issue.
