How much money you must be able to show at the border

Being turned back for arriving without visible means is rarer than the internet suggests and more common than travellers expect. This table lists only countries whose own authorities make sufficient funds a condition of entry. Where a figure is published we give it, per day or per trip as the country states it; where none is, the rule is real but the amount is at the officer's discretion, and saying so is more useful than inventing a number. Absence from this table is a checked negative, not a gap.
