Do I have to pay for a Thai visa when I enter or leave the country?

You need to pay. From May 29th, 20 14, the Immigration Bureau of Thailand stipulates that foreigners entering Thailand must carry no less than 20,000 baht (or equivalent foreign currency) with them, and the bank credit card is invalid. Thai immigration officials randomly check that those with insufficient cash will be refused entry. This provision applies to all kinds of visa entrants, including landing visa. The Embassy in Thailand reminds China citizens who intend to come to Thailand to abide by the new regulations of the Immigration Bureau of Thailand and ensure smooth entry.

Matters needing attention when entering Thailand:

1. Before arriving at Bangkok International Airport, all passengers must fill in the customs declaration form and declare the amount of foreign currency brought into the country. Violators may be arrested, prosecuted or confiscated. The amount of Thai currency that can be carried when entering or leaving the country shall not be higher than 50,000 baht.

Pirated works are not allowed to be brought into China. Legal works, such as computer software and works of art, are limited to one copy per person.

There is a blue toll-free phone near the baggage carousel at Bangkok airport in Thailand. In an emergency, you can contact the outside world by telephone.

4. The Handbook of Foreign Exchange Control and Controlled Articles can be obtained by the Cultural Bureau of Thailand, the Wildlife Protection Bureau, the Customs Department, the Tourism Bureau of the Government of Thailand, Thai embassies and consulates abroad or representative offices abroad.

5. To buy large-scale Buddha statues, antiques and artworks (except small souvenirs) that need special packaging in Thailand, you must first obtain an export license from the relevant competent department or shop so that they can be inspected by the customs when leaving the country.

6. Don't take your luggage casually, in case it is illegal to carry contraband such as drugs and guns.

7. Exit formalities: Airport tax is 500 baht per person. The Immigration Bureau of Thailand took the exit card, went through the exit formalities and stamped the exit stamp on the passport. Accept the security check.

8. According to the relevant regulations of Thailand, the number of duty-free commodities allowed to be brought into the country is: sweet wine or spirits 1 kg, 50 cigars, 250g cut tobacco or 200 cigarettes, 5 rolls of film or 3 rolls of film, and animals and plants are not allowed to be brought into the country. In addition, all kinds of meat, plants and vegetables are prohibited from entering the country.
