the proof of 20,000 THB is part of the requirement in the E-Visa application for a tourist leisure visa. . . . . . . AND at the border an Immigration official can ask for cash 20,000 THB or equivalent in another currency

@Brian ********

Are you able to read? You can be asked on two occassions to show that you have 20,000 THB. The first time when applying in the e-visa online system for a tourist visa, and the sceond time at the border. She did not specify for which occasion she needs either cash or a document from her bank. So I informed her about exactly what she needs to know

@Brook *******

when you are retired, time becomes irrelevant - because you got a sh...load of it. You just gotta use the time that is left for you, wisely

@Brook *******

I do my yearly extension of stay based on retirement on "my" Immigration within 25 minutes, and that includes the purchase of a single re-entry permit. The only downside is, Immigration is a 75 kilometers trip from my home

@Henrik ****

exactly. Some Thai embassy websites still publish 10,000 THB per person. They do not communicate with Immigration (different ministries) so some info never gets updated

Actually, SOME embassies are asking to upload into the E-Visa application a proof of funds of a minimum of 20,000 THB or equivalent, in your home bank account.

Here is an example of the requirements for the application to a single entry tourist visa by the Royal Thai Embassy in Vienna.

It might be similar in your home country, or in the home country of the OP, which is Sweden

his info is wrong . . . this is text on some embassy websites, however if Immigration at the borders will ever ask, they actually want to see 20,000 THB per person, not 10,000 THB. Either in Thai Baht or equivalent in another main currency

@Jeremy ********

is your name listed in the blue housebook? As normally a foreigner cannot be named in a blue housebook. He can only get named in a yellow housebook. However, I must admit, I have already come across foreigners in my visa advice group who insisted that they are named in their blue housebook. Yet I still haven't seen any by myself

This is Thailand. Money can buy you almost everything
