Why do you have to bring thousands of dollars when traveling abroad?

Foreigners entering Thailand must carry no less than 20,000 baht (or equivalent foreign currency) with them, and the bank credit card is invalid. Thailand controls the entry of passengers by the amount of cash it carries. First of all, people who want to enter Thailand have certain spending power, and they don't want to travel to Thailand just to increase the number of people. Secondly, some neighboring countries are restricted from illegal immigration through tourism.

If Thai immigration officials spot-check that tourists don't have enough cash, they are likely to be repatriated. Many tourists from China were repatriated before. Thai immigration officials will conduct spot checks, and those with insufficient cash will be refused entry. This provision applies to all kinds of visa entrants, including landing visa.

In most countries, there is an upper limit for cash entering the country:

Traveling abroad is essential, either in cash or by credit card. Many countries have special requirements for the amount of cash that tourists can carry. For example, Thailand has set a lower limit of 20,000 baht per capita, but most countries have actually set an upper limit, that is, they must not exceed the amount. Once tourists ignore the relevant regulations, they are likely to cause trouble and may seriously violate the criminal law.

At present, the amount of cash that foreign tourists are allowed to bring into China varies from country to country. Generally, it cannot exceed RMB 65,438+0,000 in local currency or equivalent foreign currency. If the amount exceeds 1 000 yuan, it must be declared to the customs and explain the reasons. In addition, the quota is calculated on a per capita basis. If you are a family member, you can carry cash alone. Before departure, visitors may wish to consult authoritative organizations, such as consulates in China, to find out the local cash quota allowed to enter the country and avoid unnecessary troubles.
