Is proof of 20,000 Thai baht required when entering Thailand on a 6-month METV?

Okay, one last time, there are TWO times you're likely to be asked for proof of funds. ONE is when you BUY a visa from a thai consulate that requires proof of funds and in this instance you show BANKED MONEY <- a print out of your bank account.

The OTHER instance is when you are stamping IN to thailand and proof of funds is requested by the immigration officer. In this case you show 20K baht (or the equivalent) in CASH <- you CANNOT show a bank account a credit card or anything else. IF you're asked you show CASH.

We're done..

For reference it’s on the Thai MFA site. Section 2.2 Tourist Visa Documents Required. -Issuance-of-Visa.html

ANYONE, <- understand that as ANY PERSON entering thailand CAN be asked for proof of funds, proof of onward travel and proof of a hotel booking when stamping into thailand.

That people have entered without being asked for any of those things does NOT mean everyone won't be asked.

Be prepared..

No in ✋🤔🤔🤔
