for Germans "resuming to what they asked before" this would mean that for an application to a multi-entry tourist visa, they gonna require 5000.- Euro (5300 US Dollar) That was what they required pre-Covid . . . .I hope your prediction does not come true
you actually don't need to apply, you will get stamped in for 60 days which you can extend for 30 more days. The financial proof does matter more for those who apply for a multi entry tourist visa. On a METV you can stay up to 8 months, unlike visa-exempt entries are now getting scrutinized if you try to maxx them out to more than 90 days
gotcha! . . . . You found it. So, it's the Royal Thai Embassy in London that still needs to update their webpage, as the requirement cannot be found, yet. The Royal Thai Embassy Washington DC has already upped it - it's $700 for each person
you don't have to declare CASH in U.S. currency under 20,000 Dollars to Thai Customs. And Thai Customs don't give a rat's a.. where the money came from . . . . . . And the CASH proof upon entry is, IF you really ever get asked to show, is 20,000 Thai Baht or equivalent in another main currency
