Can I use Wise to transfer funds for my Non O Visa extension in Thailand?

Question

Hi all, I'm currently in Bangkok on my first week on a Non O Visa from the UK. I need to transfer the 800,000 Baht, so that I can apply for the 1 year extension. I have setup a bank account at Krungsri Bank in Bangkok Phrom Phong. Can I send the 800K Baht using Wise ? I know that maximum that can be transferred is 500K each time, so I would need to do 2 x transfers.

Will the Immigration office be ok with a transfer from Wise for the 1 year extension ? I could use Barclays Swift payment, but would be much more expensive.

thanks!

I use Wise in 3 transaction the first(50kbaht) was just to test the system....if you transfer the money to wise before cut off time you will get same day deposit usually after 2pm (thai time) I did it with bkk bank......please remember that the 800k have to be seasoned for 2 mths before u apply for extension and u need letter and statement from bank to do that
