Hi everyone . I have a valid DTV visa and will be leaving Thailand and re-entering by land soon.
Last time I re-entered by plane, immigration didn’t ask for anything other than my DTV visa. It was quick and smooth.
This time, since I’ll be entering via a land border (VIA Padang Besar, Malaysia) I just wanted to ask:
Has anyone ever been asked to show proof of funds when re-entering with a valid DTV visa?
And if so, would a brokerage investment account be accepted, or does it need to be a traditional bank account, like what was required for the initial application?
Thanks for any firsthand experience or advice!
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user with a valid DTV visa plans to re-enter Thailand by land at the Padang Besar border and asks if proof of funds is commonly required. Most commenters report that having a valid visa should suffice, but there might be specific requirements at certain borders. Some users advise carrying cash (around 20,000 baht) as proof of funds is technically possible, though not typical. Personal experiences with different border crossings highlight the variability of requirements and processes.
