I used a bank statement. Since I was already sending a bank statement to prove $16,000 balance, I used a statement from a DIFFERENT bank account. Don't know if it matters though.
Except op left out the most important detail of all. Does this person work at all? If he does, he CLEARLY is going to have Thailand sourced income. So money earned abroad is only taxed if remitted, but money generated from Thailand is immediately taxable. Magical thinking people have about where the customer or company is located doesn't matter, the meaning of Thai-sourced income would, legally, be: money generated from any labor performaned whilst on Thai soil.
i very much doubt this. You are assuming the 60 day program will last. Usually Thailand cancels these programs very suddenly. I entered for 45 days under a special program in 2021 and not a month or two later it was suddenly cancelled. Presumably if one comes for the next 5 years, 90days, it will on average require 1 extension and 1 visa run. That's a lot more effort than my DTV took
Still need a DTV if your time is worth anything imho. Getting 1 30 day renewal and doing 1 border run wastes at least 1.5 days of your life. 🙁 That's because Thailand is a 1970s bureaucracy monster. Somewhere like Colombia is not similar, 3 month renewal takes 8 minutes online.
true. I once lost a passport to pickpocketing with a work visa for China. That was a helluva disaster. My work even had to pay for me to go to fly HK to replace it AFTER the US gave my new passport.
