Anonieme deelnemer it is not about how you consider the 500K, but how Thai autorities consider it. They made a visa requirement of it. You can argue you don't need as much as you want, but those arguments have zero value, it are their arguments that count.
Anonieme deelnemer 450 Maybe you should learn about visa requirements before you post rubbish here. I perfectly know the requirements, this has nothing to do with fear montering. In 99 percent or more you get away with abusing this visa, and when you comply to the requirements you have nothing to fear at all, so why do you accuse me of fear mongering.
It not needs to be a problem as long as you are not checked, and chnces getting checked are very low unless you want to do in country extension, but it is good to keep in mind why the visa requirement is there.
That is also why they at approval sometimes ask you how you want to support your daily living in Thailand, because the 500K is not meant for that.
Anonieme deelnemer Maybe it then just is easier to transfer before you travel in. Transferring it at the moment they ask you for it might give a bad expression.
