OPEN your EYES! Application to Tourist Visa (single or multiple) using E-Visa System of the Royal Thai General Consulate Frankfurt. . . . Requirement of 20,000 THB just added a fewdays ago . . . . Do you need any other proofs, you d......k ? Because I doubt if the admins allow me linking the consulate webpage

@Todd ********

I happen to know a lot more about these topics than you

@Mark ******

I don't speculate. The need for a 20,000 THB bank statement is already required by the Royal Thai Embassy Berlin, Germany, for an application to a 60-days and 6-months Tourist Visa. AND: it is already implemented into the e-visa application! I always avoid to speculate. If you don't believe me, check out the Website of the Royal Thai 'Consulate Frankfurt, it is in English and German easy for you to find! . . . . I just checked the London Embassy website. There is no proof of 20,000 THB needed for applications to a tourist visa single or multiple entry. In Germany, the proof is required. So you are totally spot on: It depends on specific country and specific embassy

@Dany *******

it is already required by the Royal Thai Embassy Berlin, Germany, for an application to a 60-days and 6-months Tourist Visa. It is already implemented into the e-visa application!

different Thai embassies have different financial requirements for applications to the tourist visa categories. This one is brand new, it is already implemented in the E-Visa Online Application in some European countries. Others might follow or not, we shall see. The notice about the difference required by the Thai Embassy in Korea, excluded

@Elías *******

you are absolutely right, different Thai embassies in different countries all had or still have their very own rules on the financial proofs. Some have none at all, others ask for bank statements over 5000 US Dollar

@Garrett **********

yes, it is a very old rule (Section 12) - it could be asked upon entry. But here we are talking about a cash proof for the application to a tourist visa, not about the possibility to be asked for 20,000 THB in cash by a border official

@Cris *****

correct. It always is Immigration office specific

What seems completely absurd to me is the following:

For the online application for a tourist visa, you would have to upload a bank statement.

However, upon entry to Thailand, the equivalent of 20,000 THB in CASH (!) may be requested.

In this case, only cash is accepted, no bank statements, and no credit cards.

Thailand is once again inventing completely absurd rules.

I think that once financial proof is introduced into the e-visa system, various embassies could demand significantly higher amounts again, especially for the multi-entry tourist visa.

Five years ago, the financial proof required at Thai embassies in Europe was €5,000. Then this proof was completely abolished. And now it might get reintroduced through the back door.

@Jim *******

well the cash proof never had to be shown only in Thai Baht, an equivalent in any other main currency would do it
