So the other day I told you how I was allowed back into Thailand after having a number of tourist visas in my stamp (you can read about it here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

I don’t work in Thailand<\/a> but just use the country as a base to travel as I’m semi-retired.<\/p>\n

Just this week my friend who is a New Zealand national was denied entry at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport.<\/p>\n

Offical reason for refused entry:<\/strong> he did not have sufficient funds to enter the country on his visa.<\/p>\n

In his passport they stamped<\/strong> that he was refused entry because he did not have on his persons 20,000? that he needed with his visa. He was holding a METV visa that he had used once.<\/p>\n

According to what I have read online and been told by a friend who is well read on visas, you can only be rejected entry into Thailand if you do not have proof of funds<\/strong> for travel or they suspect you to be working here illegally<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For a METV or SETV you must show 20,000? or 10,000? for a visa waiver.<\/p>\n

These are the grounds they can reject you.<\/p>\n

He had credit cards with money on there but he was not allowed to withdraw, they moved him to a holding room where he was asked to pay his for ticket back to his home country.<\/p>\n

He does not work in Thailand but had been here for 1.5 years traveling and they deemed that he was working here.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
