Paul *******

Not closing balance every month, but every day...if you apply in KL or Laos, you can't allow the balance to go below 500,000 for 3 months in the case of Laos or 6 months in the case of Malaysia.

That $100 fee (roughly 1900 THB) is a tourism tax all foreigners on tourist visas pay when applying for a NZ tourist visa. Exemptions apply for Australian citizens and citizens of certain Pacific Island nations.

Yes, these proofs may be requested by some immigration officers especially at the Ranong land border.

In practice, if it's a DTV you're on, just proof of cash and maybe an explanation of where you reside should work.

I don't think that's necessary. Just tell them what you do and they should be fine. It's all about profiling.
