Does anyone holding a DTV has been asked by immigration when landing at Suvarnabhumi to show the amount of 20k baths in cash for entering (wether in $ or €) ??

I have around 200 € but i’m wondering since i read people got refused for not having them and Chat Gpt tells me not to sorry so i double checking here ! 😆😆 thanks everyone !
Answer summary
The conversation discusses whether holders of the DTV visa are required to show 20,000 baht (or equivalent in foreign currency) in cash upon entering Thailand at Suvarnabhumi Airport. While some participants express concern based on anecdotal reports of individuals being questioned, others argue that many DTV holders have not encountered such issues. There's a general consensus that while the legal requirement exists, it is rarely enforced unless there are specific complications during entry.

@Andrew *****
they accept any currency as long as you show the balance in your bank app. As far as I know. There is a legal requirement of showing 20k baht or other currency in cash, however it is rarely enforced unless they have an issue with someone

Another bored DTV holder starting to work in Thailand showing results of entry into Thailand.

How many post did you research?

How many entries are made at each checkpoint by DTV holders?

How many DTV holders did post?

How many DTV holders get entry without any talking?

How many DTV holders are greeted welcome in Thailand?

Yeah, just another useless comment on a useless post.
