ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The financial requirement of 500,000 THB must be shown during in-country applications for visa extensions at the Immigration Office (IO). While it is theoretically possible for immigration officers (IOs) to request proof of funds upon arrival at the airport or during border crossings, such instances are reported to be extremely rare. Most travelers do not experience requests for showing financial evidence, as it seems to be more common for in-country processing.
