for a tourist visa or visa exempt, proof of onward travel, accommodation, and of financial means. I believe it is 10,000 Baht per individual or 20,000 per family. It can be an equivalent amount in another currency but needs to be in cash. Bank statements don't work and there is no ATM prior to immigration to take it out. These are rarely asked for, but are technically required. My understanding is some nationalities are asked more than others. As fas the onward travel most airlines won't even let you board if you don't have it when entering on either a tourist visa or visa exempt.

I can't say that I personally know of it happening as i dont really have any exposure to it, but just like other things there are always people that post on here saying things like "I've been traveling to Thailand for decades and have never had to show the 3 proofs when entering". That doesn't mean it doesn't happen or is not a requirement. How common is it? My understanding based on the posts was it had become more common in the last year or two, but perhaps still not the norm. That they've gotten stricter on cracking down on fake volunteer and education visas. I guess it's just a proceed at your own risk situation.

@Craig *******

if you follow these and other forums there has been numerous posts that immigration had started testing thai proficiency for those on an education visa for language when going to renew the stamp. As with all the rules for entering, visa renewal, etc everyone's experience is different and depends on the officer.

No insurance company I've ever heard of would cover third party damages if the police didn't come and determine it was the policy holders fault.

depending on where you are at there may be a Honda driving school nearby. It's a 2 day class that involves riding a motorbike too. They go through most of the available questions, the test itself is something like 50 of the 300 or 400 available questions taken at random. You also get to take practice tests for an hour or two. At then end you take the test there and if you pass get a certificate to take to the land transport office. Once there you just have to take an eye test and pay the fee for both the motorbike and car license.

When taking the test and going through a lot of sample questions/tests at the Honda driving school the instructors specifically point out a ton of the questions that are translated incorrectly and many of them you have to specifically pick an incorrect answer (when translated) to get it correct.

@Ted *******

if you are already married, but less than 2 years you apply for a CR-1. If you've been married for more than 2 years then it's called an IR-1.

@Jeremy *******

haha. All I did was point out why lying was bad advice and you kept trying to defend it with even crappier justifications. I guess in your world that's trolling.

@Jeremy *******

🤣🤣 so can't find anything and refuse to admit it. Have a nice day troll.

@Jeremy *******

you gave crappy advice and I politely pointed out why lying was a bad idea. Go back and read my first reply and tell me how any part of that was trolling or incorrect? It would've stayed at that if you hadn't been so stubborn and defensive about it.
