Can not comment Isbella Tn ‚ s asking so I will make a small update here: Yesterday I came from Penang with new Tourist Visa. Not have any problems, they not wanted to see 20k cash or flight ticket (I have a new passport). But the other ones from our group with non O Visa or Business Visa have to show all papers!! So this time I’m the lucky one...😁

TLDR : Answer Summary

A traveler recently shared their experience entering Thailand from Penang with a new Tourist Visa. They reported no issues at the border, as they weren't asked to present cash or a flight ticket, which contrasted with other travelers in their group who held Non-O or Business Visas and were required to show all documentation. Comments from others express interest and hope for a similar experience.

it'd be nicer of you to help others if you add some more information such as which entry check point (airport, border name..) you entered Thailand, and how you did (fly-in, land - car train), and maybe nationality, etc in this post, too.

Doesn't mean everyone will be so fortunate.

Ellie Takei of course, I’m sorry!

I‘m German and we went to Thailand with car over Sadau border. I make this now for about 3 years, stay 7-8 months in Thailand with my girlfriend and in summer I go back for working in Germany.

Do I need to show an entry flight ticket or is a bus ticket sufficient for a tourist visa application in Penang?
