Something new! Bangkok bank.

Very stressful, because I have to arrange this for my retirement visa, monthly method.

With all alarming news, about BKK bank freezing accounts, I decided to do the transfer, early in the month, if something goes wrong, I can still find a solution.

Today I send, as usual, as I am doing for many years now, my monthly transfer to my BKK bank account. After proceeding, I get a few minutes later, a mail, that BKK bank refused the transfer.

Reason should be, that name of account is not correct. Ok, although this has not been a problem for all these these years, I see that on Wise, middle name is missing. I put the middle name, and Wise send it again.

It is now said, the transfer is done, and should be in my account in minutes.

5 minutes later, this time, the whole transfer is definitely cancelled.

I not know what to do here. I need that amount in my account for the end of the month, otherwise, my visa will not be renewed next year. Neither my wife, who is here on my visa.

IMPORT UPDATE

I changed the name, deleted old recipient.

Things got worse. Now it is in account in seconds. No international transfer anymore, although I put for living in Thailand.

It states DEP TRF FR E CH

internetbanking. Could that be because Wise transfer international through another bank?

I am on a retirement Visa and left Thailand and came back in yesterday, without doing re -entry stamp before I left, and they said we can give you one month free but you must go to Jomtien immigration office and talk to them about how to get your original one-year visa back into effect. Does anybody know if this is going to be possible?.?

Hi All

I'm finishing up working in Thailand, so my non-imm B visa will be cancelled.

I plan to travel for a few months then come back for retirement.

Wondering if it is easier/better to come back on a tourist visa and do the retirement visa process, or sort it out before travelling?

Also, most of my Thailand funds are in stock and crypto, are those account balances accepted for the 800k, or will I need to take some out and deposit it in a regular bank?

Thanks in advance for responses 🙏
