Does transferring money via Wise to a Thai bank account satisfy the requirement of having funds from abroad for a visa?

The original post inquires whether transferring money from a UK bank account to a Wise account, then converting pounds to Thai baht before transferring to a Thai bank account, satisfies Thailand's requirement that the funds must originate from outside the country. Community responses indicate that the transfer's labeling (as an international transfer) and the choice of Thai bank (like Kasikorn) are critical for compliance. Key considerations include tagging the transfer correctly (e.g., for long-term stay) and ensuring funds meet the visa requirements, such as having 800,000 baht in the Thai bank account.
