If they are "wealthy people" they can hire one of the better law firms to do their visa work for them. Real simple. Then if they are not really wealthy they can complain and go somewhere else.
Get your visa back in the states after you renew your passport. The consulates/embassy in the US is alot more lenient especially when it comes to showing money in the bank. You don't need to show 3, 6 , or 12 months of balance. For now I would just return on visa on arrival or pay for a tourist visa depending on how long you have been out of the country.
Anonymous participant 981 A "few embassies" doesn't matter. In the US you can only file with the embassy/consulate covering the state you are in. New York & Washington want to see liquid funds not stock or other investment funds
Funny Mr. Legal Scholar. There are only like 2 or 3 Thai visas that specifically support remote work. That being said, interpretation is open to what's legal or illegal.
