Hello all, some VOA advice please? American citizen entering first time for 12 days from India to Suvarnabhumi airport.I am told (from Thai embassy here) I am exempt from having to get a Visa since it is under 15 days. For 30 days it the requirements would change they say.To back myself up I have documents stating I will be staying in friends home, photocopies of passport, my new passport, over requirement Thai baht, e ticket to exit. Two questions: Do I need 2 passport photos 4x6 cm, and will I need to show bank balance although I have enough cash? Thank you..
TLDR : Answer Summary
An American citizen traveling to Thailand for the first time can enter on a 30-day Visa Exempt Entry stamp at Suvarnabhumi Airport without needing passport photos or proof of bank balance, as long as they have a valid passport and the TM6 Arrival/Departure card.
