How can I correct the incorrect remarks on my E-Visa in Thailand?

I pay landlord through wise. Usually in his account in a few minutes. Sometimes the first transfer takes a while (mine took 2 days).

Fidelity, and Schwab both offer brokerage accounts that refund atm fees and have no foriegn transaction fee. You can set your own withdrawal limits but Thai atms cap at 30k baht ber transaction. Wise or western union can do bank transfers to your landlord for a fairly small fee.

Open a SCHWAB investor checking account — refund on ATM fees worldwide. Ensure you receive the debit card before you head out to Thailand. This is the best method to withdraw cash (THB) from any ATM. Deny the ATM conversion fees while withdrawing let SCHWAB handle conversion as their rate is better.

Wise for any rent/bills/online shopping. Works like a breeze. Make an account with Wise before heading to Thailand and ensure you receive the debit card. Can act as a backup debit card if you lose your SCHWAB debit card. And vice versa. Small fees on ATM withdrawal.

Feel free to ask any questions. Moved there 3 months ago and been a breeze!

Wise / Revolut. I prefer revolut with a Thai baht currency account. Choose when to buy baht, and transfer the money straight to my landlady’s account.

Also have the true money app for paying by scan.

As far as for cash I use kungsri and take money out at the banks exchange counter from a euro account by debit card with my card and passport. No limit or a limit I haven’t reached yet. 😊

Also American in Bangkok but I work here, so my need is getting money OUT of Thailand. I'm happy to trade you THB cash or to your Thai account for market rate, and you can transfer me the USD equivalent via Zelle or PayPal.

Schwab works well to limit fees if you will still have US address for setup. Credit unions also.

I couldn't get Revolut to accept me. Wise doesn't work for outbound, so I closed it but people bringing money into Thailand seem to love it.

Use WISE mate

Before I got my Thai account I paid my landlord, cleaner, kids school ect using western Union and I would transfer larger amounts to myself that way as well.

YELLOW ATMs (Krungsri) 30K THB max withdrawal, fee is 250 THB. But the fee you should REALLY be watching out for is your own bank's currency CONVERSION RATE and foreign transaction fee, varies a LOT by bank, so switch to the right bank. And ofc, always make sure to press: "continue without conversion" ! And lastly, make sure to take your card back, because many ATMs in Thailand hand out cash first, card second!

I use Revolut. Pretty much the same as Wise.

Had to transfer 280,000฿ for something and the fee was 251฿.

I often send 40’000฿ to my gf and she takes out of the ATM for me for free. The fee for that amount is about 23฿

I just pay bay bank transfer 3 months in advance.

Open a Wise account and get a Wise ATM card. You can use it for apple, google pay. You can load money onto the card via the app in a few seconds. They only allow two free ATM withdrawals a month, but you still pay the local fee every time. You get the best exchange/fees combination with Wise. I pay my rent with Wise, and once you've set up the payee, it only takes a few seconds to pay them.

I wasn't sure if this post was a joke or not. Still not 100% 😃. Wise and Revolut. Wise seems to be smoother from Wise to Wise and Wise to thai bank. Revolut seems to get flagged when payments are being made into it. Maybe because Revolut directly trades shares and does crypto.... but not sure

Use wise or a wire transfer for rent.

For day to day stuff you can just take out maximum amount from the ATM and use moreta pay or card to pay.

Ask your landlord if they have any offshore banking or can take usdt. You'd be surprised. And some would welcome usdt.

I do t know how much your trying to save but using western union cost like 6 bucks and maybe lose a couple cents on the exchange rate. Same with using Wise I pay like 6 bucks extra but can transfer from my bank to my landlords bank in Thailand. I get a way better rate with wise tho then most international transfer services

First set up your home county bank account with a bank that charges no foreign transaction fees and has no ATM withdrawal fees. In USA that would be Capital One Bank.

For cash go to Bangkok Bank ATM and withdrawal 25,000 baht at a time. The atm fee is only 150 baht. Bangkok Bank is the best because you don’t have to worry about selecting to decline the Thai bank doing the conversion for you, I miss hit the button at Krungsri one time and that mistake cost me over $30! Bangkok Bank doesn’t ask because they automatically let your bank do the conversion.

To pay rent and security deposit just use Wise. This is typical and companies like Property Scout that help you find your condo will know that you will need to use Wise. You’ll be paying the rent and security deposit directly to the owner.

Don’t over complicate it. You don’t need a ton of cash. You can use Apple Pay almost literally anywhere or for markets cash which will be minimal.

Just make sure whatever card you have linked to Apple Pay does not charge foreign transaction fees. If you have the Apple Card it does not, Capital One does not, check your terms and conditions. Your credit cards exchange rate will pretty much be spot on so don’t worry about it.

I go to the counter at Krung Thai bank headquarters with my passport and debit card. I think the limit is 200,000 thb per withdrawal, although I have never needed that much at one time. Wise is what I use to pay rent. Instant payment and the fees are really low.

Wise!

ATM with Schwab refunds the fee

1 - Superrich for currency exchange. Krungri ATM for up to 30k baht withdraw.

2 - Revolut

3 - Revolut. Never pay cash.

I use Remitly - I opt for interac if your bank has it, really good deal.. if not, just the bank to bank transfer is good as well.

U can pay me by usdt i give u baht cash. Or if u need transfer for rental I also can transfer. I live in bkk and pattaya can p2p.

ATM bypass , as tourist visa i go into yellow bank., show passport and they swipe my card say 30,000 bht last time , only 1 small fee , atm capped me at 5,000 bht per transaction and stung me 250 - 300 bht fee depending on machine

Yes, wise is common. Relatively low fees/good rates. You should consider paying several months at once. Few landlords like to deal with large amounts of cash and so should you. WU is expensive. By the new rules all remittances to THB are, in principle, taxable if you qualify as tax resident and you will leave a trail whether it's cash, wise, WU or whatever. But there are many caveats to that and that would be a wholly different discussion.

Pay rent with wise , if your landlord uses Kasikorn it will be instant transfer. Other banks can be that day or upto a few days.

I just transferred my Landlord through wise

Payment comes in instantly

I get a better rate

No need to go to ATM

And waste time

I don’t know why you wouldn’t do that

2. Revo, wise - both work for me, you just doing a transfer to a thai bank account. Nothing fancy.

3. No need, transfers are acceptable too
