According to a document I have from Jomtien Immigration if you are applying for two it can be in a joint account with TB 1,600, 000 in and as long as all the details and the rest of the Instructions are carried out it should be okay?

If the Immigration Office you will be using is Jomtien it says the following in document I have from them. "Account Name/Number. Pages, etc Share account cannot be submitted for multiple applicants, unless the account saved is corresponded (e.g. 1,600,00 bhat for 2 applicants)

Surely those same Biometrics will appear on her US passport too? Her US passport is valid so I see no problem for her At BKK Immigration. I used UK and Canadian passports all the time with no problem and my youngest Daughter uses her Thai and Canadian Passports too.
Answer in less than 20 seconds you can get a visa on arrival. The real question is should you even be travelling unaccompanied if you can't find something that simple out by yourself?
