FritsSikkink Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 When you are refused entry you are not deported. To be deported you have to be in the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumballl Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 This is the 3rd story in the last week where someone who had been using back to back Tourist Visas and was not allowed into Thailand because they lacked sufficient funds in their wallet. I suspect that these stories has more to do with the repeated use of Tourist Visas, rather than the lack of funds. I arrived yesterday at BKK, with my family tow, and I was not asked whether I had any money on me, and I was fortunate for such. I only had 1300 Baht, 80 USD, and 1000 Yen on me. Not far from the IO post was an ATM. If I had needed to prove I have funds, I could have asked my wife (who is Thai) to withdraw the funds from my Bangkok Bank account. But it never came to this. I did not have a Tourist Visa, and this was my first visit in nearly two years. All this being said, here's a thought for the frequent tourists to Thailand... don't come so often! Seriously, when a person does this, it does lend the appearance that the person is residing in Thailand, as opposed to being a genuine tourist. Since it is not always possible for the IO to determine for sure whether the tourist is indeed on personal travel, or working in Thailand, it is just easier to ask to see 20K Baht... or just deny entry.

ukrules Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I suspect this is related to the recent suspension of penalties under the Royal Decree on Managing the Work of Aliens B.E. 2560 (2017) act. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
