What are the first steps to starting a business in Thailand with a DTV visa?
Steve *******
Contact a law firm that specializes in helping foreigners start companies in Thailand. Ask them to help you.

And block all the dingdongs who reply to posts without reading them.

What are the best money management solutions for DTV visa holders in Thailand?
Steve *******
Get a Revolut or Wise card and use that for payments where they accept cards, and for online payments.

Get cash for the small stuff, but always withdraw 30,000 at once, so you get as much as possible per paid withdrawal fee.

What are the best border crossing options for visa extensions in Thailand without staying overnight?
Steve *******
You can drive/fly out and in immediately. All these opinions in the comments are related to visa exemption runs, and aren't relevant for the DTV.

What has been your experience with multiple entries to Thailand using a DTV visa, and how do volunteer and ED visas work?

@Alex *******
 they are separate visas. You need a "work visa" to volunteer in Thailand, which is what I have had 2 of.

What is the bank balance requirement for a DTV visa application for myself and my daughter in Thailand?
Steve *******
You need 500,000 baht. Not 55,000.

Your daughter doesn't need her own account with 500,000, since she will be your dependant.

Is it legal for my friend to stay in my condo for a month or two without any issues?
Steve *******
@Lynnette ******
 30 days or more isn't "short term", so if they rent it longer than that, it's legal.
