@Craig ********

That’s probably something you’d need to ask them. Their rules, their process.

Trying to apply logic is futile.

@Andrew *******

99% (a figure made up by me) of people entering Thailand visa exempt are not asked to show funds.

In theory you could be one of the 1%. Better odds than a coin toss that you won’t be though.

@Alex ********

No.

You don’t need to do anything from an initial Non B. It will cancel itself when you leave.

If you were on an extension of stay off of the initial Non B then you’d need to cancel that extension, but you aren’t so no issues.

@Mark *******

Yes. I’m a moderator of this site. That means I see posts from lots of people about current happenings now. I see what they are posting now. I see there is a huge difference to what posts were like 2 years ago to what they are 2 weeks ago.

I may not know as much as I think I know but I can read.

You have experience of opening a bank account two years ago. With a wife that works in a bank. How many others have that advantage?

Can’t really see the relevance that that would have in today’s world. But obviously you think you know best so let’s just leave it at that.

@Mark *******

Then she would have been able to tell you that what you managed to do two years ago is completely irrelevant to what you can do now.

I guess she KNOWS but hasn’t informed you yet.

That’s going to be dependent on the embassy you are using. Some require separate funds some just require sponsorship letter from you.

@Heather *****

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.
