@Jon *******

it can be in US account but will have to get embassy invovled to verify or state department in US to certify

If the one you are doing is asking for money its fake, and you can only do it 3 days out from arrival

@Jef *******

yes I just said 'they are asking for it" so be ready one way or other make sure miney is kept in account

Keep that money in savings as long as you have the DTV people are being asked to show proo of it upon re-entry now I know of 3 people that were denied entry for lacking the funds in the account keep it there. Safe way

@Ray ****

wrong they are asking for it upon re-entry

@Ian *****

DTV requires 500k baht in savings around 12k USD but you also have to demonstrate reason like remote working medical treatment or classes you can apply for 1 yr tourist visa with multiple or one entry

I would keep them on you just incase I seen of two people denied cause they didnt have the required funds for the DTV so id make sure you have that in savings

No

It depends on how much you bring in they have tax brackets, but it will also depend on personal situation for example. I will never pay taxes on my income from the US due to a treaty signed between the US and Thai government DTA, thailand will not tax entitlements/ benifits that are paid out by the Federal Government such as retirement / Pension at the federal level or Compensation such as VA disability

Ive been trying and been denied 3 times even been to agent and they told me not likely they wouldnt try for me
