What are the requirements for proving funds with a Non-O visa in Thailand?
We recently discussed how the immigration would enforce the 400.000 THB rule with your non O visa. In Krabi immigration O was told that at my next 90 days show-up I need to prove my funds. Details were not given but it seemed like I will have to bring my bank book or another account statement from the bank.
Answer summary
The conversation discusses the requirement for Non-O visa holders in Thailand to prove they have 400,000 THB in their bank account during their 90-day immigration report, particularly in Krabi. It is advised that applicants should bring their bank book or a bank statement to demonstrate their funds. A commenter shares that they weren’t asked for this proof in Jomtien upon extension renewal, raising concerns whether they should preemptively show their balance.

I renewed my extension on May 1st in Jomtien
They never gave me a paper or told me to come back to show them my bank balance
Maybe I should do anyway after 90 days!

@Darren *******
maybe they stopped that nonsense :O AFAIK they were one of the only offices that were having people come back in 3 months and show their updated bank book to make sure the 800K was still in the account. All the other offices decided to just look at your bank book NEXT year when you apply for a new extension and see if you followed the rules or not.

@Darren *******
IF you didn't use the banked money method of having 800K baht in the bank for 2 months before you applied for the extension you would not have received a paper telling you to come back and show your bank book in 3 monthsTod *********
And did you get a new extension based on being over 50 using the 800K baht banked money method?
