Seasoned funds don't need to be foreign. But you will need bank statements showing when they arrived and your passbook showing the funds are still in your account on the day you go to immigration for your extension.

If you were applying for your non-o in country then the funds would have to show as being from a foreign source.

supplemental income

@Travis ******

actually you pay the Thai taxes first (tax residency is primary) and can deduct taxes paid from your USA taxes.

@David *********

costs $60 to send a document from Thailand to USA. I'd be afraid to ask what they'd want for 8 suitcases worth of packages...

If you have that kind of income, why not just save up for a couple of months? You'll then have the 800k.

@Debbie *****

don't forget to get your bank passbook updated on the day you go to immigration showing the 800k is still there.

@Mike ******

probably not. This is a "fill in the blanks" process...

You are a tax resident of any country you spend more than ½ the year in... But that doesn't really mean anything other than you are supposed to file your primary taxes in your country of residence and possibly (like in case of USA) file taxes in your home country claiming any tax paid in your tax residence country as a tax credit on your home country taxes.

Just don't bring it into Thailand

Easiest way is to take a 2wk vacation to Vietnam and use evisa from there. Then come get your bank account, etc ...
