Hello everybody.

I’m seeing some people are getting questioned when coming back into Thailand with dtv visas..

If I had about 350k baht in the bank and the rest cash to show for my funds would this be acceptable has anyone had this experience yet?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses concerns about being questioned upon re-entry to Thailand with a DTV visa, specifically regarding the requirement to show proof of funds. Users share experiences, noting that while showing proof of funds (500,000 baht) has not been commonly reported, there is guidance suggesting carrying cash (20,000 baht) just in case. It appears that questions may arise about the purpose of the DTV visa rather than specific financial proof.

You should consider carrying

Baht in cash (it must be cash) and preferably in Baht. Just keep a stash of

Baht that you don't use and only carry with you on re-entry. It is unlikely to be asked for, but could be.

Paul James The OP is referring to the 500k requirement for the DTV

I don't recall ANYONE posting about being questioned about holding a DTV when flying in being required to show proof of the 500K baht 🙁

Being required to show WHY you applied for the DTV? Yes, people are asked that

but

I didn't read any proof of funds posts by people flying in

No reports of someone been asked to show that at the airport. There is no written rule it is a requirement as part of entry.

Paul James Yea 20k, the OP seems to be alluding to the 500k needed for the DTV

Arthur Bright There are questions but not seen someone told to show the 500k.

Almost certainly, if funds are demanded on entry it will be the 20K in cash not 500K in the bank. Immigration won't accept any funds in electronic form at the borders. It's strictly cash only.
