Is it necessary to show the 500k funds at the airport for a DTV visa?
Is it required to show the funds of 500k at the airport for DTV visa?
Answer summary
When traveling with a Digital Nomad (DTV) visa, travelers are not required to show the 500,000 THB in cash at the airport unless specifically asked by immigration officers. Funds must be shown during the online application process, and at immigration, you may be asked for a bank statement or proof of sufficient funds, typically around 10,000 THB. Although random inspections may occur, there is no strict requirement to carry cash.

No. There's is (currently) no requirement to maintain a certain amount of money in any single account after a DTV has been issued. The 500k or equivalent is only required during the application.

OPNickname9876 I don’t think that’s true?

@Elisabeth *******
but it is. Why bother asking the question if you already think you know the answer?You'll need to show funds if trying to extend the visa stamp in country but not for simply entry on the DTV

No. But immigration can ask anything. And you have to answer.

No. Under random inspection they may ask you to show your bank account balance on your phone. But usually no.

It needs to be shown in a bank statement when you apply online then at BKK immigration you may be asked to show the equivalent of 10,000 baht

not for DTV holders, it’s B20,000 not B10,000and it applies to all visa exemption tourists, technically you need to show B20k or equivalent currency in an account or online but only ones likely to be asked are those that they are pulling aside for various reasons, most other tourists are unlikely to be hassled, or there would be an almighty jam at the airport. 🤦🏻♀️Wayne *******

I think the main point is the 500k, that needs to be in the account when applying. The OP asked if that was to be shown at the airport. That read to me as though she may have thought she needed 500k cash in bahtBut yeah, 20k not 10. I wont edit it for obvious reasons 👍
Wayne *******
Nickname9876 Is it? Then tell the OP not me 😂

@Wayne ******
nah the question is almost certainly whether a DTV holder needs to show a bank statement that still shows 500k balance, just like during application. The answer is: no, they aren't checking that and there's no requirement to have 500k in any single account after you've already been issued a DTV.

If you already have your DTV EVisa
Then that’s what they will want to see .

@Greta ****
Yeah, why not?

@Paul **********
I believe it is because you can only travel with 10k USD worth of cash
