It is enforceable from income starting Jan 1st 2024. There is still no clear details on the practicality of the new ruling. I heard 2025 would be when any required tax payments need to be made on 2024 income.

@Valerie *********
if you apply like 2 months before you then have 90 days to enter Thailand and the day you arrive that's when the visa starts.You can get 2 years out of it without having to deposit money in a Thai bank account.

Have you got 800k in a Thai bank in your name, if so do it yourself for 2000B then extend for 12 months for 1900B? If you're applying "from the UK" check the eVisa website for requirements.
