Succint and to the point!

The visa is valid from the day it is approved.

Well you are taking a risk and that is up to you. No whinging if refused and you lose your fee though.

There is no income requirement but the capital amount of 500k in the bank applies to all DTV categories.

I would get a letter stating explicity you can work remotely from Thailand.

Unfortunately not. The problem is each location is run like a little fiefdom. The rules in Jomtien may be different to Chian Mai to Samui etc. There areocal groups you can join and probably best to ask specific questions. I currently report in Jomtien so follow what happens there and probably moving to Chiang Mai so been following there. I have no clue though for example how Phuket or Samui operate.

There is no entrance fee. The 10k is for a 5 year multi entry visa.

A pal did a run with agent this morning from Jomtien. He messaged me 10am saying all finished at border. Back in Pattaya 1pm
