I've used Google voice for 6 years. Only had one, maybe two apps that I couldn't use it for the 2 step verification but they allowed alternative methods so no problems. All other apps worked just fine with it.

a visa and an entry stamp are two completely different things so have their own dates. A visa is permission to enter the country within the validity time frame of the visa. An entry stamp is what you get when you enter the country and tells you how long you are allowed to stay in the country based on the type of visa you have. You can enter on the very last day the visa is valid and still get stamped in for the full time frame the visa grants.

Why? There is absolutely no advantage to getting the tourist visa before you come. It'll just cost you more.

Its called visa exempt, meaning you enter without a visa. Visa on arrival is only for certain counties and they pay 2000 baht on arrival to get a visa. To answer you question though, yes US citizens still recieve 60 days visa exempt when they arrive. There are no plans for that to change that I am aware of.

As long as it was above 800k for 3 months after you applied and above 400k the rest of the year and then back to 800k 2 months prior to applying again you should be OK.

There is no such rule limiting you to 180 days per year.

One of the best months to come.

but you can select options that show up at your bank as international transfers. Does that still come from a Thai bank? I haven't looked that closely, all I know is it doesn't change the fee at all.

I do not. I believe the money needs to be easily accessible so cannot be in an investment account. So keeping your money invested vs sitting in a bank here doing nothing seems to be worth it based on what I see people saying an agent costs.
