Do I need to show my bank balance again upon re-entering Thailand if it fluctuates below the required amount?

Once you re-enter Thailand, did you show your bank balance again?I'm asking because I would like to use my money normally, where sometimes my balance will go below 500k but still can show more than 500k once I enter Thailand again.

Thanks in advance
Answer summary
The discussion centers on the requirements for showing a bank balance when re-entering Thailand. It clarifies that while a minimum of 500,000 baht is required for certain visas (like the NON-O), it is not checked at re-entry. Instead, during entry, there is a more basic cash requirement of 20,000 baht. Participants caution that your account balance should ideally remain above the visa requirement amount, as officers can check the balance at any time, though it's primarily assessed during the visa application process rather than at entry.

How many times same question is asked. Please search your questions first in group.

500K show money is visa requirement. 20K Baht cash (or 40K for family) is entry requirement. While entering, you just carry this amount as cash in any globally accepted currency.

I wouldn’t risk that, they could check at any point and if they see it dropped and went back up you’re in trouble

Anonieme deelnemer 484 IO can decide if he asks for these requirements, officers in an office where you apply for extension always do, officers at borders will do rarely.

After getting Dtv it's not a requirement to have 500k.

I still believe you should have a decent amount if asked
