Thailand Reminds Travellers to Be Ready to Show Proof of Funds

Foreign visitors arriving in Thailand can be asked by immigration officers to prove they have enough money to support themselves during their stay. Tourist Visa and Non-Immigrant Visa holders should be prepared to show at least 20,000 baht per person or 40,000 baht per family, while Visa on Arrival requires 10,000 baht per person or 20,000 baht per family. Rules for visa-exempt travellers are less uniform, with official guidance varying by nationality and entry category, meaning some visitors may be safer preparing evidence of 20,000 baht per person or 40,000 baht per family. Funds do not necessarily have to be in Thai baht and may be demonstrated through equivalent foreign currency or accessible financial documents, although a credit or debit card alone is not guaranteed to satisfy an immigration officer. Not every traveller will be checked, but visitors should be ready to provide proof of funds alongside other possible requirements such as accommodation details, onward travel, valid entry documents and the Thailand Digital Arrival Card.
