What are the regulations on bringing money into Thailand and where to apply for a Non-O retirement visa?
What is the most amount of money you are allowed to bring into Thailand and also when doing the application for N O retirement Visa is best to do it here or when you get there thank you for your input
Answer summary
Travelers can bring any amount of money into Thailand but must declare amounts equal to or above US$20,000 or equivalent currencies. The general advice leans towards applying for the Non-O retirement visa abroad before arriving in Thailand to facilitate procedures like opening a bank account.

the rules regarding the export of currency out of your home country might differ, so beware!

£10,000 at customs UK and they'll probably ask you where you got it from if you're stopped. Make sure you can prove where you got it with bank records or other paperwork.

at least in the US if you have over the amount and don't declare it they will confiscate it and start looking for ways to take it all.Gwyn ********

The max is how much your country will allow before declaring. Aust is $10,000
Paul *******
I don't think that there's a maximum.

You can bring as much cash as you want. You simply have to declare everything at, or over US$20k, or the equivalent.

US$ 20,000 (or equivalent) before you’d need to declare it.
Usually better to get the Non O abroad because it makes getting a bank account much easier.
