Can someone advise...just got a ed visa in penang. Do land crossings or air require to see cash? I mean I gave embassy a bank statement to get the Visa but never got it back. Also I got bangkok bank app to show funds. Does anyone know the score? Cheers
TLDR : Answer Summary
When entering Thailand with an ED visa, you may be asked for proof of funds, specifically in cash. While obtaining the visa, a bank statement suffices, but for entry via land or air, you should carry cash—specifically, 20,000 THB or its equivalent. Bank statements or apps are not accepted at immigration checkpoints; only physical cash will be considered valid proof of funds.
