Do you need to show 20,000 baht in cash when re-entering Thailand on a retirement extension with a re-entry permit?

My extension is based on marriage and I have never been asked. That said, I always have it right one just in case. You never know here.

I’ve done it number if times and it were not an issue

Okay,here's how it's really written;

IF you are on a valid VISA (like a Non-O or a Non-O-A) <- meaning you have NOT gotten a yearly extension you CAN be required to show proof of 20K baht CASH when you enter the country.

IF you are on a yearly extension (or really an extension of ANY length of time) there are no requirements in the rules to show proof of funds.

So to answer the O/P's question when on an extension of stay based on being over 50 (retirement) there is no requirement to show proof of funds.

I have never ever even heard of someone on a yearly extension being asked :/ BUT I have heard of people being asked for proof of funds when stamping in on year-long, multi-entry Non-O visas <- where you bounce out and in every 90 days for another 90 day stamp..

I hate to apply the common sense rule as TiT but you already qualified for the O-A visa so it would make no sense for them to need to see any of the three proofs. They don’t apply to that visa after it’s been issued and while still in effect.

Probably not

Thing is you already shown your proof of income etc during the extension of stay application for retirement, marriage etc. So having a re entry permit based on that is all good. I have been in/out with no hiccups past years.

I never have been asked when using reentry permit. But might it be wise in these changing immigration times to have 20,000 Thb or equivalent in cash on you ? I will.

No

I didn't

Good question
