Entry basics
Passport validity: at least 6 months beyond your date of entry into Thailand.
Proof of funds (spot-check): immigration may ask for cash equivalent to ฿20,000 per person on arrival. Enforcement is inconsistent but non-zero, especially for solo travellers on one-way tickets.
Common issues for Switzerland passport holders
- Swiss AHV/AVS pension accepted for retirement visa
- Health insurance mandatory in Switzerland — de-register or pay Thailand top-up
- Swiss francs strong vs baht makes Pattaya very affordable
