HI Thea,

I’ve been to Thailand plenty of times and I was never asked to show COE. There is a great possibility that you will be asked to show a return ticket and bank statement. Your youngest daughter, I don’t think you need to prepare any special documents.

Hi Roxanne,

They will surely ask your proof of accommodation and a chance to be asked to show a bank statement especially if you don’t travel often.

Prepare your work certificate too and holiday permission or proof of leave of absence from work.

I am planning to travelto thailand this month. Will the immigration officer ask me to show my cash on hand and proof of accomodation in thailand?
Hope you’ll be able to respond.
Thank you ☺️

Hi Aisil,

The immigration officer might ask for your hotel accommodation and return ticket.

I am planning to.travel to Thailand this September and I am recently working here in hk, is it ok I can travel to Thailand even I don’t book my accommodation ?

Hello Ikhai,

Thanks for reading! Maybe you can ask your friend to write a letter that he/she will be hosting you then their passport or proof that he/she has a place to host you whilst you are there. You can also try to book cheap dorm rooms (3-5$) on booking that .com

Hope this helps!

I would like to ask, is there a big chance for me to tour Thailand (without any hotel reservation, because a friend promise me for the accommodation and she’s an OFW there). Would I be allowed by the immigration officer? Its my first time to travel outside the country too…(Philippine passport holder)

Thank you!

HI Shady if your passport do not need a visa to Thailand no need to worry about anything 🙂

Hi Joyce, Are you worried about entering Thailand? I don’t think they will ask for COE, but they have been quite strict lately. Not from my experience, but they do want to see cash on hand. I’ve entered Thailand 4 times in the past year by air but was never asked to show anything.

Me and my brother are about to book a flight to Bangkok, Im worrying about my brother because he just resigned and there’s no COE to present and he doesn’t have any Bank Statement to present only cash, could they literally inspect the amount from our wallet? Im hoping they are really a tourist friendly country.

Hi Kiran, thanks for your message! Your girlfriend needs to apply for a visa in the Philippines for UAE. She can, of course, fly from the Philippines directly to UAE as long as she has the right visa.

Hope this helps!
