@Fred ********

I hope you are on the official TDAC website. There are fakes out there that ask for a payment. The TDAC is for free

@Andrew *******

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

@Garth *********

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

@Wannikea ********

In my own visa-advice group, I am still struggling with people who are mixing up these two different requirements

@Bob *********

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

@Andrew *******

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

@Andrew *******

and THIS (red encircled) says "exempt (without) visa

@Craigh ****************

which I find strange, because some others have been asked for cash 20,000 THB (or equivalent in another main currency)

absolutely correct, the requirements for the tourist visa application differ from country to country and the specific Thai embassy . . . . . . And you can arrive visa-exempt and will get stamped in for 60 days. However, you CAN be asked for the proof of CASH by the border official. It gets very rarely asked (only a certain type of travellers will get asked) but IF asked, you must be ready to show 20,000 THB in cash (or equivalent in another main currency)

It actually depends on specific country and specific embassy. So I must emphatize to always refer to the Thai embassy website regarding your home country. The Royal Thai Embassy Washington D.C. requires a proof of 700 USD for the application to the single or multiple Tourist Visa. This is about equivalent to the 20,000 THB now being asked for by the Thai Embassy in Germany, again, after it had been discontinued in 2019
