Can I show US currency as proof of funds when entering Thailand?

Christopher ***********

@Todd ********

Definitely. I’ve only seen/heard it once. Entering at Suvarnabhumi last month I was annoyed that some people in my queue took what seemed like ages talking with the female IO. Eventually, another IO appeared and took them to the back. Previously, I’ve only seen the odd person pulled out of the queue. I counted three that time.

@Emiliano *****

Immigration do ask for sight of cash. I overheard a guy in the adjacent queue at Suvarnabhumi Airport being given a hard time. I was quickly through and away so don't know whether he was permitted entry or not.

You sound confused. Has the OP said he has a Laos eVisa?

‘Wildly incorrect’ means that you weren’t aware. You have noticed that people refer to the Chinese Railway service? You weren’t.

@Dca ****

Then why have there been reports of Laos eVisas being refused at rail station border points and passengers having to buy Laos Visa On Arrival instead?

Can I open a Thai bank account in Chiang Mai with a DTV visa for health insurance purposes?

Christopher ***********

Anonymous participant 377 I didn’t suggest opening a bank account via an agent. Why recommend getting a Non-B? The OP already has a workcation DTV.

@Brandon ***********

Yes thanks I read that. The OP hadn’t stated how he was travelling from Bangkok to Laos so I stated what I knew ‘just in case’.

Beware Laos eVisas are not accepted by railway border post, only at road bridge crossing.

What should I do after my freelancer visa application was rejected by the Thai Embassy in Singapore?

Christopher ***********

The OP now has justification to request a chargeback by their bank/credit card company. Singapore Consulate requested additional information from another applicant. This they neglected to do from the OP and simply rejected their application instead. Complete lack of customer service.
