GeKoSc Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I have a 1 year Non Immigrant "O" multiple Entry Visa and the immigration officer stamped in my passport during my first entrance to Thailand the dates 07 February 2017 good until 07 May 2017. I have to leave Thailand this first time before 07 of May 2017? Will the Thai immigration ask me for Proof of solvency or anything else except my passport and visa during re-entrance to Thailand?

elviajero Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 No they shouldn't ask for anything other than your passport, however, they can ask to see 20K cash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your 1-year Multiple Entry gives you 90-days stay upon every entry up until 1-year from the date of issue. If you enter just before the "enter before" date stamped on the visa, you can get more than 1-year out of it. If you are married to a Thai, you can get 60-day extensions (1900 Baht) for each entry at immigration, as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stamp says: good until 07 May 2017 but not leave before which is shown in the visa itself and refers to the 1 year permission to stay in the country.

How can they expect to have 20k cash in your pocket when arriving at immigration. Should I bring with me a copy of bank account statement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stamp does not say "good until", it says "admitted until". The visa does not say "leave before", it says "enter before". The visa does not provide a "1 year permission to stay in the country", it allows unlimited 90 days entries up until the enter before date. It can be used to get nearly 15 months in the country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entry stamp has your permit to stay date on it which is normally shown as the admitted until date. The enter before date on the visa is the last day you can use the visa for an entry not a permit to stay date. 9 minutes ago, GeKoSc said: How can they expect to have 20k cash in your pocket when arriving at immigration.

A bank statement would not be accepted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine, so the "admitted until" is the date relevant for leaving the country for the first time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bank statement wouldn't be accepted. but travelers cheques should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot guarantee that! It can be asked for, at any border crossing, from anyone holding a visa as it is one of the entry requirements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
