What should I do if I can't show the required 20,000 THB in cash upon entering Thailand?

Lynnette *******

@Bart *************

well I don't know many cash strapped folk who pay thousands for holidays but can't find 20k cash to bring with them. Just because I don't agree that the equivalent of about £475 isn't a lot of money for starting a holiday does not mean I don't understand the value of money. What a dopey thing to say.

no need to redo maths. 20k doesn't last long. They aren't asking for evidence you can fund the whole trip. It's not much different to arriving in USA and being asked to show money, as I was asked to do few months ago.

in 1979 I'd have struggled to have 20k baht in my wallet as I started my holiday. 2024 it's not a lot at all.

why is it unrealistic? That's not much to carry for the start of a holiday.

20k baht is not much. I'd say if you don't have that much money to show for a holiday then you're going to struggle financially.

@Michael *********

there will be plenty of advice in this group on options to remain in Thailand as the spouse of a Thai. One is visa based on marriage, with proof of 400,000 tbt in a Thai bank. And also a retirement visa but that requires 800,000 in your Thai bank.
