Q: What currency declarations are required?

A: There is no limit on the amount of Thai currency which can be brought into Thailand, but only 50,000 baht may be taken out without obtaining a permit. When carrying Thai currency to neighboring countries, e.g., Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Vietnam, up to 500,000 baht, may be taken out without obtaining a permit.

Carrying out an amount of Thai currency which exceeds the above stated limit requires a permit from an authorized bank. The original permit (Thor-Tor. 5) must be shown to the Customs officer while passing through the outbound passenger channel. There is no restriction on both bringing in and carrying out foreign currency.

 

Q: Are shots required?

 

A: There are no immunizations required to obtain a visa for entry into Thailand. I would suggest checking with your doctor for any personal recommendations. Be sure to carry proof of vaccinations if you have travelled in Yellow Fever infected countries within the last 10 years.
