It’s 20,000 baht or the equivalent in any major currency. Doesn’t have to be USD, can be GBP, EUR, AUD etc. Just has to be cash IF asked.

@Mark *******

Two years ago is irrelevant. Banking rules have tightened up over the last few weeks.

What you could do in June is irrelevant to what they’ll allow you today.

It’s an arrival card. Any foreigner regardless of visa type or entry scheme must fill it out.

Beware of scam sites wanting to charge US$120 for something that is free.

Oo Jig The TM7 paper is asking for your TM6 number. Ignore it. If you came in by air you don’t have one. Leave it blank.

They are NOT asking for a TDAC number.

In theory you could be but they only really invoke that requirement if your entry history is vast or you’re doing back to back entries and they’re looking for a way to deny you.

Very very very few people are ever asked to show cash.

As explained in earlier comments you *could* be asked for these three proofs, although highly unlikely with your previous entry history.

No one here can guarantee anything as it’s up to discretion of the officer you hand your passport to.

If asked about funds it has to be in cash. 20k baht or equivalent in any major currency. A bank balance, phone app or credit card won’t suffice.

That said it’s incredibly rare to be asked. They can ask but almost certainly won’t unless you have an extensive history of back to back visa exempt or tourist visas and they think you are trying to play the system for a long term stay without any valid visa to do so.

@Brian ********

well in theory you could be asked for

20,000 baht or equivalent in cash.

Proof of accommodation (for the first few nights)

An onward flight out of Thailand.

90+ percent of people aren’t asked for these - but you’re right they could be. Generally immigration will only ask for these if they are looking for a way to deny you entry.

Visa exempt entries are for 60 days on entry. You need nothing other than your passport, last boarding card and a filed TDAC done within 3 days prior to arrival.

@Jeremy ********

On a TM30 application form there is no requirement for a TDAC number nor its predecessor the TM6.

Different offices are well known to require different things but this is the first I’ve heard of this.
