ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
When performing a visa run in Thailand, it is generally not required to maintain a bank balance of 500,000 THB. This requirement typically applies only when applying for a visa extension at immigration. However, experiences vary; while several individuals reported not being asked about their bank balance upon re-entry, some have mentioned being questioned about financial stability, particularly during border passes. It's important to note that regulations may change, and while many have successfully completed border runs without needing to show proof of funds, this may not be guaranteed for everyone.
