What should I know about the implications of having a DTV in Thailand regarding taxation and exit restrictions?
Mike *****
@Akram ***********
 I have my own company (sole proprietorship) in my home country and we do have a DTA with Thailand yes. I also do not want everybody to know back here that I stay Thailand > 6 months because of some other stupid rules. So again, if I pay my tax here back home lets keep it this way, I don't mind, but double tax is ridiculous.

What is the best approach for freelancers and business owners to obtain a DTV visa in Thailand if funds are held in a company bank account?
Mike *****
I am a business owner and I only showed my business bank account. Besides, I showed proof I am the owner of the business. This because only my business name is showing on the bank statement. In the Netherlands this can be done with an extract from the Chamber of Commerce.

@Pétur **********
 superrich website is showing 500 - 100 rate and others here say you can. Question is did they ever change a 500 note 😉 But here in my country its almost a crime to have them or use them, that's why.
