What Are the Protocols for Admins Closing Posts in Visa-related Facebook Groups?

William *******

Robert ,keep up the good work as a volunteer to administer the group.

I’m happy that you close posts when someone drivel’s on about an unrelated topic or the question is answered. Many Facebook groups are worthless sounding boards . Keep up the good work.

Can I use a bank statement verified by my embassy to prove sufficient funds at Thai immigration instead of showing cash?

William *******

Best to have 20k Baht like others mentioned. It’s not a lot of money but if you’re asked and don’t have it or an equivalent currency you can be denied entry.

If you're a USA citizen depending on your circumstances you may be subject to USA income tax on rental income earned abroad. Just a friendly heads up.
