Multiple Tourist Visas...

[erika]

I have been told recently that I will need to show bank statements with a mimimum of 100,000 baht in order to get a tourist visa. I have been living here for four years on tourist visas.

Does anyone know if this is true or not?

Thanks.

erika..........ive been here 6 years and up till july this year always on multiple tourist visa (i now have non imm o) . Last run i did was down to Penang in November to renew and i wasnt asked for any proof of money in the bank or income here. Dont know if anything has changed since November......have a look at http://www.mfa.go.th/web/12.php

Thanks thaiflyer 1 - It looks as though I should get an air ticket. Well, I am leaving Thailand soon anyway, so I will look into getting a ticket valid for one year. See if that works.

I just did my tourist visa in Vientiane, Laos a week ago ...didn't need to show any air ticket or any proof (though i took it with me, just in case).
