Just a quick update.

My sister and niece arrived at Suvarnabumhi on Friday afternoon. Irish passports first time in Thailand.

Immigration took about 20 minutes in a queue. They were digitally finger and thumb printed and photographed.

Not asked for 20000 baht in cash

Not asked for proof of hotel booking

Not asked for onward flight ticket.

Stamped in for 30 days.

Never heard of anyone being fingerprinted before. Is this new?

Answer summary

A poster shares an update about their sister and niece's arrival at Suvarnabhumi Airport, detailing a 20-minute immigration process for first-time travelers from Ireland. They noted that no cash, hotel booking proof, or onward flight tickets were requested, and their entry was granted for 30 days with fingerprinting and photography occurring, raising questions about the fingerprinting requirement.
