I need assistance I have applied but they want bank statements which uploaded I have more then enough money in my account to qualify. But they responded and said I needed a USA bank account and US dollars. I have been living in Europe for the past 6 years just back in the US for a visit right now. I only have an eu account and I transfer everything to euros because it has much less fluctuations then the dollar right now.

Further Questions for Non-O immigrant visa application for my wife. no.4. Can the financial evidence be the local currency of her local bank Country? It does not have to be Thai Bank right? We do not have any Thai Banks account yet

Hello, i couldn't find the official list of the criteria for Tourist Visa Exemption. Have relatives with german passports without facebook and would like to provide the info to them.

I know some but not exactly sure or if they are up to date.

1. Proof outbound flight within 30 day

2. 10,000THB (or 20,000THB?) or other currency cash per person.

3. Proof of accommodation

- can they use my own valid adress here in TH even it's not an hotel?

Thanks very much

J.

Not sure haven't been there for many years. Do you absolutely need USD for the Lao visa at Chiang Khong? Border bounce only!

Thanks 🙏

Working toward a 60 day trip in July.

Do I have to carry in 20,000 baht or will the equivalent in AUD qualify?

I have a Thai bank account but I left my book over there.

Advice for those presenting bills/notes to Thai Consulates and Laos Immigration abroad in Vientiane and Saigon (Ho Chi Minh) for payment of visas: make sure your $USD are crisp and clean. I've had both experiences from Laos (Friendship Bridge in Laos) and the Thai Consulate in Saigon (HCM City) who wanted crisp and clean (no cuts or rips ) on the $USD currency.

I am not certain this is the correct place to ask this question but here it goes.

I have heard that Thai immigration is asking that you have 20K THB in hand when you fly in to Thailand.,

I have visited a few times before and have never been asked, I visit once a year and not more than 25 days.

Thanks for your responses and sorry if this is not the place for this question.

we are looking to leave NZ for around 12months, traveling on our savings. probably spend most of our time in Thailand then maybe spend the last few months in laos or vietnam or something like that.... completley unsure atm, depends on how long we can stay in Thailand as to how we spend our money lol :)

I had read about the 20000bht - each time we bounce does that mean we need to have 20,000baht each (2adults,3children) - or is there a family rate? - and does that apply each time we bounce wihtin the metv 6month period, or only afterwards?
