Hi - Am looking tourist visa from UK to Thailand and hope someone can clarify this please, I hope to cme and stay for 6 months with girlfriend ---------
For Multiple Entries (stay up to 60 days for each entry within the period of 6 months)
* A current passport with validity not less than 6 months beyond the date of depature from Thailand and at least 2 blank pages. Applicants must fill in online visa application with their given name(s) and surname as appear in their passports.
* Printout of visa application form submitted online, with bar code
* Financial evidence e.g. original bank statement of the applicant showing a balance of at least £5,000 (for 6 months) or a print out with official stamp of the bank---------------------------------------
Does that mean that £5000 must be in your bank for a whole 6 months prior to application ? Not many people are stupid enough to leave large amounds just sitting in a current account !! If so might be simpler to get a single entry + 30 extension then get another 60-day visa in Vientiane plus extension. Would orefer not to have the hassle of 2 days in Vientiane.
Would appreciate any comments - cheers and keep safe
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post seeks clarification on the financial requirements for a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa to Thailand, specifically if £5,000 must be maintained in a bank account for six months prior to application. The poster considers alternatives like a Single Entry visa to avoid the hassle of maintaining a large amount in their account and traveling to Vientiane for additional extensions.
