Thank you so much Robert and Tod, good to know bc I thought it was the same in all ports and I was going to carry only 10K 😖

In fact I replied to Robert's post because I wanted to know if I need the 20K with exempt in DMK or if it's needed only 10K as the Act states, because I am not sure if Robert was referring to TV or to any entry via Bangkok...

AFAIK it's 10K for exempt according to the Alien Act, but so many comments regarding 20K make me doubt 😔

20K for TV, 10K for exempt, right? I'm entering through DMK and need to be sure about how much cash carry 😅

@Duncan ******

a little off topic... but I was going to apply for a job position in your company, I hope this debate don't affect it :D :D

@Duncan ******

you have to show a valid ticket, and they can check if it's valid. Unless you could web check-in in advance (what usually is not possible until 14 or less days before the flight) you only have your e-ticket, and they can want to check that it's a real paid e-ticket.

Personal data protection has no matter here because you're not giving any personal data to third party - trust me, I'm a web developer from EU, the last half a year I have struggled as f*ck with the f*ck GDPR ;)

In EU every company are going to check that. At least as my experience (Qatar and Cathay Pacific) and my friend's experience.

And remember that this is not only the airline - the inmigration officer can ask for it as well. It's not as easy as not fliying with some companies.

Anyway, I can not understand the "I'd change airlines". If my onward ticket is legit, I have absolutly no problem they check it in the company website - with my previous consent.

I've traveled with TV sometimes. But last year I traveled with visa exempt because I was arriving at CM and two days later traveling to Laos - it was a Laos-Camboya-Vietnam trip. This year I came in another exempt because I'm applying for an ED Visa, and in my country is a pain to get a SETV/METV (3 days, and implies a 500Km travel and hotel stay or pay an absurd fee to UPS)

Duncan Riley let's see it in other way: the officer ask you to prove your onward ticket. So he ask you to YOU enter the website and put your booking number in it. Do you think it's illegal? Or even unethical?

In fact, they have already your name, and if you show the ticket you're showing him the booking number. They can check it in the website and I can't see any illegal here.

You're responsible of prove you have an onward ticket. If the prove involves you show it in the company website... well, it's the prove.

Of course, you can refuse to do it; but then, you have not proved anything so they can deny entry.

BTW, they checked my onwards tickets twice in Europe, the land of the GDPR - which don't have any to do with this, because you're not giving any personal data more than your name, which your air company has already. And, in the case you think you're doing it, the important part is "without consent", but you're giving consent - because if you don't, they'll deny entry.

Duncan that's not correct, sorry. In fact you can check it in almost all the companies, all they have to do is open the company website, click on "Manage booking" and put the booking reference and passenger name. That's enough to check if it's a legit ticket - and if it's already paid.

So please, don't spread the "they cannot check", because with your name and booking reference/e-ticket number they DO can.

I myself have been checked a couple of times with onward tickets from Vietjet and Air Asia, and I can assure you they did be able to check the details.

I'm a bit worried because some people telling they're a bit more stricts in BKK/DMK... In September I'll enter by CNX, but on October, after my 2 weeks in Vietnam, I'll enter by DMK.

Thank you for your reply Nitzan :)

Thank you, that's new to me, good to know. Anyway I sign a contract in my condo... but maybe it's better the one you point because the contract in my condo is like 15 pages :D

Regarding if I could have a reject of entry, what do you think?

Again, thank you for your help :)
