Thanks for the reply and the link. The dependent visa is what I meant, couldn't remember the exact term for it. :)

How likely is it that immigration will require my mother to show 20,000 baht in cash when entering Thailand for the first time?

Ambrosia *******

That's about $100 more than the current exchange rate. Are they requiring people to show a lot more if it's in foreign currency?

I don't have the space for her to stay with me, unfortunately so I put her up in a nice little guest house around the block :)

Ambrosia *******

Thanks for the responses. Once I thought about it, it made sense that I'd need to update the form. I was just stuck on my "but I wasn't even gone for an hour" logic and needed confirmation.

What should I know about applying for a Thai visa at the Hong Kong consulate?

Ambrosia *******

I have read horror stories about every consulate in SE Asia, and I had other reasons to be in Hong Kong. I had asked about the location in this group several days ago before we booked tickets, but only got responses that my 3 previous visas could but shouldn't be an issue if I had all my other documents.

Thanks for all the advice. I am working on a more "proper" visa, it's just taking longer than I'd planned to get what I need in order.
