Do I still need to show 20,000 baht if I have a work permit and am on a Non-B visa?
Hi this may sound a little silly but if we have a work permit and come on a Non-B visa do we still need to show 20k baht? Thanks.
Answer summary
When entering Thailand on a Non-B visa, you could be asked for 20,000 baht as proof of funds, regardless of having a work permit. Experiences vary; some travelers report never being asked, while others mention incidents where they were required to show proof of sufficient funds. It's advisable to be prepared with the necessary documentation, including proof of funds, onward travel, and accommodation details, as requirements can be enforced at the discretion of immigration officers.

You CAN be asked for the 3 proof ofs (proof of funds, proof of onward travel and proof of hotel booking.
That people are NOT asked does not mean they don't ask anyone.

For 3 of the years I was on a non-B. The other 2 were extensions, if I remember correctly.

Officially you can be asked and out of reports on the southern borders with Malaysia every body is asked.

ah ok so I’ll just prepare. I’ve never been asked during my extension but I had to get a new non-b to get my extension again so I was a bit worried. I’ll keep in hand anyhow.Activity
