You need 3 months seasoned bank account. You can make a statement that you are a freelancer/ business owner and that you are allowed to work remotely on a company letterhead.The Thai consulate accepted that from me.

You do not need any other insurance. Your FEP insurance covers you. When you get to Thailand find care that accepts the FEP. Otherwise you will get reimbursed. My wife has been using it in Thailand and Hong Kong and has had no issues!

you should read what the Thai government considers income before you respond. And what the last 2 years of Thai tax discussions have been about! It’s a whole lot different than the western world.

The treaty prevents you from being taxed on it twice … yes. However. If you establish tax residency in a foreign country, you might/would file a tax return in that country and then you would file your worldwide income return with the U.S. and then you would get credits for taxes paid outside of the U.S. if you had a filing requirement.
