If you're comming in exempt you'll have spent the airfare to arrive. Get an evisa online as it's straight forward and you have prior approval for entry. Flight information and your accomodations for your first night are required information on your entry permit regardless of how you enter. An onward ticket showing when you're leaving is required, but sometimes not enforced

Nongnuch Kamdee I understand. My reply was to the inquiry as to bringing cash in by any method. I stated the warning about the outbound limit as some people are more mobile than others and my not wish to stay. The limit is a transparent ploy to retain foreign currency instead of allowing it to flow freely.

I filed a TM30 at the same time I extended my TR60. The Lao border shutdown due to COVID-19 the day I did a visa run. I went to Chaiyaphum immigration 2 days after my 60 day limit and had no further problems. Shortly after the Emergency Decree went into effect and everyone in country before mid March 2020 was COVID exempt for as long as they cared to stay.

I enter on a 6 month multi entry and show only my flight out after 6 months. I've never had to show a ticket for my 60 day exits.

true about the IO, but I've been coming to Thailand since 2008 and have never been questioned about anything...except once when I forgot to put my Thai address on the arrival form.

TR60 multiple entry.

@Chuck ********

there are no limits inbound. ฿50,000 outbound. Wise uses the mid market rate, same as the banks.

Bringing money in is no problem. You can only take out ฿50,000 per transaction. I hold both USD and Baht in my Wise account and set up auto conversions to execute trades at favorable rates. Wise uses the mid market rate, and fees are much lower using ACH as opposed to wire transfers.

@Nigel *************

many are being stopped and questioned for what? Do you realize it's an immigration officers job to scrutinize documents and ask questions?

You can go for 10 minutes and come back. I've spent from 30 minutes to 30 days.
