Non Immigrant B - Airport requirements

[mockingbird]

I'll be arriving i Bangkok on a non - immigrant B visa in a couple of weeks.

Do I need 20000 in cash, as is required on tourist visas?

 

I'd rather not carry a wad of cash halfway accross the world.

The 20k baht is required for all visa entries.

But it is very unlikely you will be asked to show when entering with a non-b visa.

Travellers cheques are accepted too.

 

However, as said, the chances of you being asked to show 20K when entering with a Non Immigrant visa a pretty much zero.

Ups - I also have a non - Immigrant B and was never asked .Travelling in- and out about every 8 weeks. It surprised me that this condition should be applicable for that visa type, too as the non- immi - B usually will be go along with a work Permit, which means you work and will have income.

 

Usually I carry around 20K with me on anytime (you never know) but sometimes it is only 10 or 15K - so surprised to learn that this should be a condition.
