Hello every body

I have a question to as as many people have been saying this

When re entering after your 6 months

Is it true that you need to prove the full 500.0000

On entry ?
Answer summary
The requirement to show 500,000 THB upon re-entry into Thailand after a 6-month visa depends on the immigration officer's discretion. Generally, it's not necessary to prove you have this amount when re-entering, as this amount is primarily a requirement for visa applications or in-country extensions. Instead, it is advisable to carry at least 20,000 THB in cash, along with proof of accommodation and an onward flight. Different opinions exist, but the consensus is that showing the full 500,000 THB is not typically required.

No. If they ask to see your financial status, they want to see the 20,000 THB in cash you're supposed to carry when entering as a tourist, which you are when entering with a DTV

No. 500,000 THB is an application requirement only.

No, but make sure you have 20k baht cash, a booked hotel, and an onward flight. There is no obligation to keep the 500k in the bank once the visa is issued. The only time you need to show 500k is if you apply for an in country extension. Avoid entering via Phuket
