Case by case

stripe funds dont count. need to be in a bank. Revolut works if registered in the UK by a UK resident, if not it may not be considered a legitimate bank. There are reports of rejections when people attempt to use WISE as finantial evidence as it does not have a banking licence

The reason is you can do the applied visa multiple times per year more than you can with a visa extension stamp. Exemption. Also, in additional, many countries don't get 60 days, so they would benefit more from applying for a proper visa. (voice2text)

as long as the savings account is instantly accessable and in your name (not a business acc) and not locked then yes

most places want 3M some wat 6

Your Thai DTV visa has no effect on other visas

not yet enforced and unless you are bringing in millions of baht into Thailand every month not worth worrying about yet.

If you are bringing in lots of money each month, hire a Tax Lawyer so you can organise your funds in a way that reduces tax and don't ask people in a Facebook group for the answer

its also ''more than 6 months per calendar year'' so if you time it right you can live in Thailand for 11 months every rolling year while still spending less than 6 months in each calendar year.

DTV is 6 months per visit not per year. Its also possible to extend within the country.

@Christopher *******

doesnt mean he has to apply in japan

@Dawn ******

officially yes, on money he brings into Thailand. In reality not yet enforced so not something to really worry about yet
