Has the 'Funds for long-term stay in Thailand' option on WISE been removed?

WISE long-term stay Thailand visa renewal fund transfer options immigration marriage extension

ORIGINAL POSTER

Looks like WISE dropped the category for  "Funds for long term stay in Thailand " or words to that effect. Just did a transfer and didn't have that as a reason. Everyone I have done so far this year had that as a reason. I believe though that isn't really necessary for a renewal on a marriage extension of stay.

TLDR : Answer Summary

Users have reported inconsistencies with the 'Funds for long-term stay in Thailand' option on WISE. While some users claim it was absent during their recent transfers, others assert that it has reappeared. Most participants believe that this detail is not critical for renewing a marriage extension, although some emphasize that the transfer's categorization may affect the transaction's coding as either local or international, particularly highlighting that the option may vary depending on individual bank practices.

Anyway I did thoroughly check before I hit confirm and it definitely was not on the drop down list. I don't think it will be a problem for me on a marriage extension renewal as all the other transfers show up as foreign transactions.

I think ALL reasons except one will show as an inside-Thailand money transfer. The only reason on the drop down list that will result in coding the transfer as having come from abroad, is "purchase of property"

it depends on the bank. With Bangkok Bank every reason I have used shows up as an international transfer.

Every so often I’ll hear stories like this, but over the past 2 years of me doing the monthly transfer, it’s been good for me and if it wasn’t, I’d switch from smartphone app to PC website or wait a day.

Does wise let you send money from Thailand to your own country, in my case Australia, or is it just to Thailand?

Wise ony sends into Thailand. There is a service called "Dee Money." I set up an account with them maybe 5 years ago and sent a token amount of money (฿500) just to test the service. It worked, I received the money in my US account. However, since that time I've seen other people post horror stories about their money being lost in the ether. Having read these stories, I would probably just use my bank's options if I need to send cash out of Thailand (e.g. Western Union, SWIFT or International Prompt Pay.)

It is weird. I have seen and used it everytime including recently except one time about a month ago. Possibly their server somehow can misidentify an IP address? No i just made that up. No idea why. But this happened to me once too.
