TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a tourist visa to Myanmar, you may need to provide evidence of sufficient financial means to cover your stay, which is estimated at around 800 USD per person. The required documents include a filled visa application form, recent passport photos, a confirmed round trip ticket or hotel reservation, and a letter of employment or business registration (if applicable). Additionally, it is typically required to present cash (specifically 20,000 THB or equivalent) at the immigration checkpoint.

You give a copy of a Bank statement with date, name bank, your name and account details to the Embassy when you apply for the visa.

You may be asked to show 20.000 Thb or equivalent currency at the Immigration checkpoint on return and that has to be in CASH.

The Kanchanburi/ Htee Kee border does not ask for money. I don't know if the other borders are still open though.

>Also someone know if the accept cash, paxum or paypal to show i have the money?

It's cash. It's 20K THB in hard notes, in Thai baht or equivalent convertible currency.
