Do I need to show 20,000 THB in cash upon entering Thailand with a Non-Immigrant O (Retirement) visa?

Okay let's put this to bed right now

I have never ever heard of anyone on a year extension w/re-entry permit based on retirement being asked for proof of funds when you enter thailand, not even a single time.

People on free stamp (visa exempt) and/or tourist visas CAN be asked but even those people are rarely asked..

Make sure you fill out a TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) and you'll be fine.

If you have an active visa, and re-entry permit you should be fine.

It doesn't have to be in Thai baht ,just equivalent in any currency n they may or not ask to see it so prudent to have it in my opinion

I always carry the cash just in case. Never been asked for it.....yet

Ist for Tourist only. on the other Hand. Bath or equal Money in your currency is really not much and a good thing to have for emergency.

If you don’t know basic stuff like this you’ll be finically scammed and slaughtered.

No, this is only for tourists.

From TAT:

"Hello,

You’re correct that the 20,000 THB requirement is generally associated with Tourist Visa and Visa Exemption entries. However, Thai immigration officers retain the authority to request proof of sufficient funds from any traveller at the port of entry, including holders of Non-Immigrant visas.

While O-A visa holders meet separate financial requirements during the visa application process, carrying proof of available funds when travelling is still recommended."

Rarely asked, but if you have bank app easy to show your account.

Tourist rule rarely enforced

Chances are you have an extension of stay based on retirement. No you do not need to have 20k in your hand upon entry.

The most recent version of the Thailand Interior Ministry Notice/Announcement about Physical Cash in Hand Requirements for travelers making Entry into Thailand, dated 8 May 2000 and published in Thailand's Royal Gazette on 9 June 2000, is nothing new with THB ฿20,000.- Thai Baht per person physical cash in hand

The physical Banknotes do NOT need to be in Thai Baht, but any major international currency that is easily convertible to Thai Baht or otherwise

At current foreign exchange rates, ฿20,000.- Thai Baht is over USD $600 Dollars nowadays

A single EUR 500 € Euro banknote ( 2 Euro banknotes = 550 € Euros ) or a single CHF 1000 Swiss Francs banknote is definitely sufficient

No such visas are being issued. First learn the basics of what visa you have. Stop showing your ignorance

Make sure to Double Check and Verify Again after each Re–Entry that your Latest Entry Stamp is Correct:

1.) Has the same stay Validity End Date as your current Re–Entry Permit

2.) Entry Stamp Type is: « Non–RE »

Firstly I would question the type of visa you say you have ?

Do you mean you have a 90 day Non O visa based on retirement, or you have already been to Thailand have a 12 months extension and a multiple re-entry permit ?

Nothing like that. Is only for the tourist

No as that requirement is only for visa exempt entries.

Based on what you have written

100 % No

I flew back in on Tuesday

Just fill the the TDAC or THIM App
