I'm ready to transfer 800,000 to my account with Bangkok Bank. I have to use Revolut and transfer using SWIFT international banking. Do I need to show a narrative linking the transactions?. My Thai account is in married name and Euro account is in birth name. Identy is not a problem as both names are in my passport. Is thete a way of adding a narrative to appear in both accounts?

is in different name
Answer summary
The user is transferring 800,000 to a Bangkok Bank account using Revolut via SWIFT, but their Thai account is under a married name while their Euro account reflects their birth name. They seek guidance on whether a narrative is required for the transaction and how to connect the two names in the process. Community members advise that as long as the transfer is correctly labeled on the Bangkok Bank statement and the account name matches the passport name, there should be no issue. They also mention that Bangkok Bank can provide letters confirming the transfer and balance.

Bangkok bank can issue 3 letters. One is called a credit advice, all in English with sender name, ordering institution and address in your country, other letter will be in Thai verifying money recieved from aboard. The last letter stating your latest 800K balance.

If you plan to extend your non/o based on retirement, or changing from your 60 day tourist/ 30 day visa exempt to a non/o for future retirement extention , then yes. Your bank teller can do all 3 letters at the same time, at the same counter. Easy.

The only thing that matters is how it's labeled on your bank statement for Bangkok Bank. It needs to show as an international transfer there.
