I have questions about how capital gains are taxed for residents/non residents and if it's paid in or kept out of country. Also, Google shows varied tax rates so I would like clarity before moving to Thailand

Why do you need an accountant? They will either ask what or take more money off you then you will get if you get any. Nothing to do with visas then?

There is no difference from any other business tax wise. Any profit made you pay tax on, and as with any other business you need a paper trail for all profit, and loss, with recorded dates. There are no special rules for crypto.
