You need a o-visa (now electronic on online only)with this you open a bank account within the first month (they will try and tell you to gether insurance of them, )which is a small thing if it gets a bank account, put your money in it fast ,all within the first month, now can extend the o-visa for one year at a time,you have to do a 90days reporting to the immigration office do not forget (two weeks before or one week after, you must do it ,at the last month of the yearly extention, re,extend it ok,

a lot of work to get it ,it's great to be here long-term ,and cheap 👍

If you bring in money from outside of Thailand, i believe you have to pay tax on it, thai gov started to do taxes on foreign money coming in, but all in the air at the moment,
