Hello, could you please confirm whether this is accurate? The rules appear to be changing frequently.

What kind of questions are DTV visa holders being asked upon arrival? Are they asking for proof of 20K Baht or departure tickets etc?

Do you need to carry 20k baht on arrival if you have the DTV visa, can you be asked for it by the IO

Hello everyone basically I had a 60 day Visa on arrival and then extended it. I’m reaching of my 30 day extension and I have booked a flight to Vietnam for a week and then I come back obviously after my 90 days has finished.

I have to leave half my stuff in Thailand, like cameras, drones, expensive equipment. This is because I am unable to purchase additional baggage due to already of reaching the max baggage allowance for the flight.

I have a friend I’m coming back with to spend Christmas time and then going back to Vietnam with the rest of my stuff

However, I am worried that I will be denied entry. I have paid for fast track and I have a Thai person meeting me at my gate when I arrive back to Bangkok however, I am just scared that I will lose all my belongings and get denied entry just so everyone knows as well. This is my first ever time visit in Thailand right now I’ve never been before.

I would want to know does the Visa get reset on 1st January anyway 100%

The people think I will be OK considering it’s my first time in Thailand. What extra precaution should I take to ensure a safe arrival?

Also as for proof of funds does it have to be cash or can it be bank

I need some clarification. Is it true that travelers entering Thailand under the visa-exemption scheme must show 20,000 THB per person and 40,000 THB per family and that this amount must be in cash (Thai Baht)? Is there any official confirmation on the Royal Gazette website that this rule is now required?

As far as I know, the requirement has always been 10,000 THB per person and 20,000 THB per family. There is a lot of confusion about this topic, especially now that visa runs are under strict scrutiny. But is this higher amount mandatory even for regular travelers who are not doing visa runs? Please help me understand.

Thanks in advance.

Im heading over for my 2nd visit. I never had to show i was financial for a 2 week visit before, has this changed and do l now need to show l have funds.

This proof of funds "20k baht" at airport is very popular lately.

Do I need to have cash or bank statement will be enough or even better just show to them my bank APP?

Hi there, just want to ask a question for those who recently arrived in Thailand. Did immigration officers at airport ask you to show proof of funds in cash?

A foreign tourist has warned travellers after being denied entry at Thailand’s Don Mueang Airport for insufficient funds. Immigration officers enforced the regulation requiring visitors to prove they possess at least 20,000 baht upon arrival.

The traveller claimed she was unaware of the rule and was refused permission to withdraw cash from an ATM. She expressed frustration at the lack of clear guidance and was told to attempt entry through a different airport.

Thai authorities confirm that proof of financial means is a mandatory requirement, though enforcement remains discretionary. Tourists are advised to ensure they carry adequate funds or documentation to prevent border issues.

Does *proof of funds* need to be a checking/savings (cash) account, or will they accept a brokerage account? Do funds need to be seasoned?

Most of my emergency fund is in $SWVXX.

Trying to figure out if I need to move cash into checking and eat the lost interest, or if brokerage statements are acceptable.
