When you done your 90 day they did not ask to check your bank balance ?

Kenneth Allsopp A 90 day report is nothing to do with your bank balance. It's reporting your address if you plan to stay in Thailand more than 90 days

ORIGINAL POSTER@Kenneth ********
no they don’t. Just your passport and current addressRobert *******
You report that you are 90 days inside of Thailand. The only requirement is that you are 90 days inside Thailand or plan to be if you report before the 90th day.

Chiangmai was 500 baht, now is 1000 baht.Sergey *********
It is free and you should get it by post within 3 weeks. Want here and now? That is not free =)
Honestly, it highly depends on the province. Phuket immigration might ask you anything between 300 and 500 baht. Krabi immigration in most cases do it for free. Other provinces... No idea =)

Yes it is, but you will wait between ***
weeks for it. The 1000 baht charged by immigration, or in this case 500baht, gets you express service. Same in any country if you want things done quickly.Lloyd ********
@Phil ******
yes it isPhil *******
