What should I pay attention to when traveling abroad?

A few days ago, a tour group traveled to Thailand. After passing the customs, the police got on the bus to check whether the group guests brought 20 thousand baht into the country. As a result, 30% of the group did not bring enough cash, and the police decided to repatriate the whole group! After many mediations, the tour guide was fined 20,000 baht. ...

Maybe you think you won't check it many times, and even if you do a spot check, you won't be so lucky. However, when it happens to you ... so I suggest you get ready before you leave, you must bring something, and don't bring anything! Because different countries have different regulations on the articles brought into the country, I have roughly sorted them out and shared them with you.

Thailand

Immigration officials will randomly check the cash carried by tourists entering Thailand as follows:

? Transit sign-cash goods are equivalent to 10000 baht (per person) and 20000 baht (per household) in foreign currency.

? Tourist signs-20,000 baht in cash or equivalent foreign currency (per person) and 40,000 baht (per household)

This is a requirement for every inbound tourist. In order to facilitate the entry of tourists, the Immigration Bureau changed to spot check, taking the landing visa standard as the bottom line and excluding children under 12. If you hold a non-landing visa visa and don't want to leave Thailand after the visa expires, you need to apply for an extension to the General Immigration Bureau of Thailand before the visa expires. Under normal circumstances, it can only be postponed once, not exceeding 30 days. You need to provide a copy of your passport to apply for an extension visa, a 4? 6cm ID photo and 1900 baht extension fee. Under normal circumstances, visas on arrival will not be extended.

Passengers carrying the following items do not need to declare, but can use the green channel of airport customs to clear customs:

A reasonable number of personal belongings, with a total price not exceeding 20,000 baht (excluding restricted or prohibited items), 200 cigarettes (one) or 250 grams of tobacco (or cigars), or cigarettes and cigars with a total amount not exceeding 250 grams; Do not exceed 1 liter of sweet wine or spirits. Group travelers should buy duty-free tobacco and alcohol separately and carry them alone. Don't put many people's cigarettes and alcohol in one person's luggage, and don't leave it to one person as soon as you go through customs. According to Thai law, this kind of behavior is illegal. If a person carries too much alcohol and tobacco, he will be punished by confiscation, heavy punishment and even imprisonment.

If you carry the following items, you should truthfully declare them to the customs and take the red channel:

An unreasonable number of articles for personal use, carrying articles with a total value of more than 20,000 baht or articles used for commerce and trade; Buddha statues, cultural relics, religious artworks, plants, living animals, pets, animal products, weapons, munitions, etc. It is an article that should obtain an export license from the Thai authorities before leaving the country. Articles that need to be declared but not declared will be fined four times the total value of the articles and the tax payable, or imprisoned for less than 10 years, or both, and undeclared articles will be confiscated.

Taking the most common fine for alcohol and tobacco as an example, the usual practice of Thai Customs is:

According to the sales price of cigarettes of various brands, plus ad valorem tax (40% if the sales price of 100 baht per pack is 1 cigarette) and specific tax (1 0/.2 baht per cigarette). According to the sales price of various wines, alcoholic commodities are subject to ad valorem tax and specific tax (calculated by alcohol content and number of containers). Passengers will be fined at different tax rates according to the total amount of alcohol and tobacco they carry. If you refuse to pay the fine, you will be handed over to the airport police for the record, and then the court will sentence you to fixed-term imprisonment.

It is strictly forbidden to bring the following items into or out of Thailand:

Narcotics, drugs, pornographic materials and books, counterfeit money, counterfeit and pirated goods and protected animals. Thai law stipulates that carrying or smuggling drugs can be sentenced to death. Do not carry articles or luggage for others to prevent drugs or other contraband from breaking the law.
