I will be applying for my next visit for a tourist visa via the e-visa system, via the UK embassy.

Probably a simple answer, but it asks for proof of finances of no less than 20,000 baht. Will they accept the £ equivalent as shown on uk bank statements?

Answer summary

When applying for a Thailand tourist visa via the e-visa system, applicants can provide proof of finances in various currencies, including GBP, as long as the equivalent amount meets the requirement of at least 20,000 baht. There is discussion among users about the necessity of a tourist visa for UK citizens, given their eligibility for a 60-day visa-exempt entry, suggesting the tourist visa may only be needed if regulations change.

Think you need to be able to show equivalent of THB 20.000, can be in £ or any other currency which can be exchanged in Thailand

Remember you get 60 days exempt stamp anyway so as it stands a tourist visa isn’t really of any benefit. Only if they reduce the visa exempt from 60 days to 30 would it become beneficial again

Hi Yes thanks for responding. I was aware of that. i was also, for future reference, looking at the family visa over 60 days as will be getting married, and the Finances are different but would also look at the amount in sterling.... but that is down the line i think.

but once again, thank you for taking the time to respond.
