How much money do I need to show when entering Thailand on a TM6 visa?

Thanks! Don't really need it. But it would've been good info before that night in Bangkok where I discovered there was a limit 😅

Thomas ********************

Even if there was an ATM airside, it wouldn't help a lot of people. My visa, for example, has a daily max. I'd only be able to withdraw a bit less than 10k. Then I could of course just sit and wait for 24 hours :)

What is the community's experience with the Thai Visa Center?

Thomas ********************

I contacted them out of curiosity after seeing one of those get-a-yearlong-visa-ads on FB. After a bit of back and forth, an ED visa was all they could help me with (not being 50 or married.) They seem to know what they're doing.

Thomas ********************

Just relayed my experience. The guy was looking at my passport with a concerned expression. Then I handed that letter to him and he lit up like a christmas tree and made my account. It most certainly makes things easier.
