I know that this topic has been discussed at length over the last 2 or 3 days but I have spent the last two sorting out with Wise how to get future transfers tagged as international. The information I have got could still be of use to people who rely on this for their visa extensions. I have posted it elsewhere but it has got lost in very long threads.
I contacted Wise and asked why the option long term stay had been removed. I got my Bangkok bank account tagged by supplying its details to Wise. I was then given the following information about how to get transfers tagged international. I tried three transfers two of which have only just appeared in my account. I hope this post gives some relief to people who are concerned..
TLDR : Answer Summary
This discussion centers on how to ensure that transfers made to Thailand via the Wise app are tagged as international transfers, which is crucial for visa extensions, especially for Non-O visas. Users share their experiences of tagging their Bangkok bank accounts and attempting different transfer options (e.g., 'personal expenses', 'purchase of property') to achieve the correct tagging. The conversation highlights concerns about Wise's options for declaring transfer purposes and provides insights on how to manage funds correctly for immigration requirements.
