it's required for both. For tourist visa AND visa-exempt entries

I have never heard or read that the 20,000 THB cash proof was asked from someone on a 1-year Extension of Stay Permit, however this does not mean that it WILL NOT be asked. Better be safe than sorry

make sure you are properly TM30 registered by your hotel, resort or landlord. Some Immigrations won't service you if you are not TM30 registered at the place where you stay

you won't have a problem. Just in case you get asked, be ready to show US Dollars equivalent of 20,000 THB in cash, a ticket out of Thailand within the 60 days you will get stamped in, and a few booked first nights after entry. You stamp history within a 1-year period will be a total of 80+60 = 140 days, which is below the maximum of 157 days on visa exempt short stays, never extended. However you might be frowned upon on your return from Japan, doing another visa-exempt entry. Because by then you have had a stay of 80+30 = 110, and another 60 days will carry you to 170 days within a one-year period. That's when you must be able to show the three proofs, again. Good Luck!

the airline will only be willing to let you board if your passport is still valid for a minimum of 6 months. Thailand does NOT require a minimum validity. As long as your passport is still valid for the period you will get stamped in on a visa-exempt entry which is 60 days, you are good to go

You're applying for the wrong visa because the visa validity for your planned vacation in June would possibly already have expired (visa validity is always only 6 months from the date of issue). As long as you only make short stays in Thailand, you can enter visa-free multiple times. as long as the total amount of days does not exceed 150 days. There is no limit to the number of visa-free entries; there is only a limit to the number of extensions of these visa-free entries. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Du beantragst das falsche Visum, weil die Visagültikeit für Deinen geplanten Urlaub im Juni wahrscheinlich bereits abgelaufen sein wird (die Visagültigkeit beträgt immer nur 6 Monate ab Ausstellung) Solange Du nur kurze Aufenthalte in Thailand einlegst, deren Gesamtsumme weniger als 150 Tage beträgt, kannst Du mehrmals visalos einreisen. Es gibt kein Limit für visalose Einreisen, es gibt nur ein Limit frür Verlängerungen dieser visalosen Einreisen

Zwei visalose Einreisen, wenn Du niemals länger als 60 Tage bleibst, sind ABSOLUT möglich. Dafür brauchst Du kein Visum. Und wenn Dein Rückflug auch immer innerhab der 60 Tage liegt, hast Du einen perfekten Aus- bzw. Weiterreise Nachweis für die Airline. Mit insgesamt 120 Tagen innerhalb eines Jahres auf zwei visalose Einreisen, niemals verlängert - KEIN PROBLEM ! Denke daran, habe immer die berühmten DREI Nachweise bei Dir: 20,000 THB oder umgerechnet soviel in Euro in BARGELD, ein paar gebuchte Nächte nach Einreise, und den Weiterreise-Nachweis. Sodann vor jeder Einreise die TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) online ausfüllen, absenden und die Email Antwort ausdrucken . . . . . . . . . . Two visa-free entries are absolutely possible if you never stay longer than 60 days. You don't need a visa for this. And if your return flight is always within those 60 days, you have perfect proof of onward travel for the airline. A total of 120 days within one year across two visa-free entries, never extended – NO PROBLEM! Remember to always have the famous THREE proofs on you: 20,000 THB (or the equivalent in Euros) in CASH, proof of a few nights booked after arrival, and proof of onward travel. Before each entry, fill out the TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) online, submit it, and print the email confirmation.

We can hear the constant rocket artillery barrages where we live, in Kantharalak. The whole family evacuated the village near the border and is living with us now in our house in Kantharalak. We got three bedrooms and I am sleeping on the sofa in the living room

@Cloana *******

in case you enter by a 60 days single entry Tourist Visa two times within a year, you can indeed do two stints of 60 plus 30 days within a year. Means two times 90 days. . . . . Maybe that's how the Immigration officer understood your question. . . however you cannot do 180 days on visa-exempt entries

@Cloana *******

you are still wrong. You cannot do a total of more than 60+30 and 60+7 = 157 days if you do it on visa exempt entries plus extensions. The exempt entries are NOT limited to two, it's only that with extensions included, you are finished after two extensions. . . . . . You can however do 6 visa exempt entries for holidays of 20 days each stay, as these will sum up to only 120 days within a one-year period . . . This is otally within the allowed range. You have misinterpreted what the Immigration officer told you. Did you understand it now? Because I have explained it to you already three times. There won't be a fourth explanation
