Financial reporting non imm. 'O'.

[Campbellpip]

This post is further to one I posted recently about 60 day extension by reason of being married to a Thai. Thanks to all replies this one was sorted at CWarner.  The only glitches was that when I arrived in BKK in October they stamped the wrong type of visa into my passport, one that didn't allow for extension of stay. They  acknowledged it was their mistake but took a lot of paper work to get it changed adding an extra 1 1/2 hours to my visit. But as I  said all sorted now thank you. My next question , and this will show how new and na I've I am at all this. Next time I come into Thailand on a multi non imm. 'O" and show my 20,000 baht bank statementioned.  When do I have to show that amount again or is the initial time when I apply  the only time.  As I mentioned in previous post I don't have enough money in savings or monthly income to stay permanently but could stay up to a year with a multi entry visa. My point is , do I have to show that amount of money on each re-entry or 90 day report or is the first time the only time. Sorry if this seems stupid to readers but cant find an answer anywhere. With what I show initially and my measly   25,000 baht nz pension I can last a year easily as we have a house in Thailand so no rent. Any helpful replies much appreciated.

It is extremely unlikely anyone will ask you to show anything apart from your passport.

Just make sure you put the Visa number on the landing card, ( TM6 ) and check they have stamped 90 days in your passport.

Been on multi entry O for years and never been asked anything.

They won't ask even on your first time entering.

Cheers for that.  Next time I will stay with my wife longer but was iffy about it this time as someone somewhere told me that if you left the country even for an hour they would ask for proof of finances on re entry.

Ask on Thaivisa and you'll get the answer.

Even some consulates have wrong and out-dated information or just make it up because they don't really know.

It’s unlikely you’ll ever be asked, but they could ask to to show 20K (cash or travellers cheques) on any/every entry.

Even when he would go to do his tm30 reporting he would not be asked right?

No, he wouldn't be asked.

90 day reports don't require any financial reporting.

If they did ask, a bank statement would not help.  You'd need it in cash or travelers checks.  Fortunately, we don't have reports of those entering on Non-O Visas being asked to show the money "Or Else" being given the boot (rejected entry) - though it could theoretically happen, based on the rules.

Thanks to all replies. Seems it'll be ok but with my luck I'll probably be the first one they'll ask. Just sad they don't have a system where poor people who can support themselves adequately can stay with their wives in Thailand. I've been here 4 months now and my pension is fine for both if us. Not a lot to spare but quite adequate.
