Hi 

I'm applying for a non-O 90 day visa from Australia.

I want to put the 800,000 baht into a Thai bank account soon as I already have a Kasikornbank and Krungsri account.

It needs to show that it is an international transfer.

How has everyone transferred their money?

Can you use Wise for this?

Wise informed me that they don't actually transfer it as an International transaction?

Any advice is much appreciated.

Answer summary

The user is seeking advice on how to transfer 800,000 baht into a Thai bank account as part of their application for a 90-day Non-O visa from Australia. They specifically inquire about using Wise for the transfer and whether it qualifies as an international transaction. Comments suggest that Wise can be used for international transfers, especially if the reason for transfer is stated correctly to indicate a long-term stay in Thailand. Others mention that showing the funds as being international might not be necessary for the initial visa application, as long as the funds remain in the bank for the required period.

Wise do mark your statement of international transaction with k-bank if you select reason for transfer as "long term stay in Thailand". It shows as "Trade Finance" which means international. You can call k-bank through the app and they can send you a confirmation of international too. Use k-bank and wise.

I use WISE for transferring money from.Westpac NZ to my Thai bank acc Wise give you an option to show its an INL transfer, but no need, Immigration only want to see money in the bank for required time, if asking for extension.

Apply for the Non-O from Thai Embassy website Sydney or Canberra .

Once granted - the rest ( 800K in a Thai bank account ) can be done once you arrive in Thailand with your Non-O Visa

This is the starting point on the Thai Embassy website

( see photo )

Yes the 800K transfer from Aust , the most popular way is to use Wise ☑️

If you're applying for the 90 day Non-O visa in Australia before you travel to Thailand and plan to use the 800k baht for the 12 month extension of stay in Thailand there's no need for it to show as coming from overseas

@Dianne *******

if you use the 800k method for an extension it doesn't have to come from overseas. To apply for a 90 day Non-O visa inside Thailand it does, and of course the the 65k method must come from overseas

my 800k had to sit in my own bank account in Australia for 3 months. And I have to supply Bank Statements showing that to get my Non O. That same 800k will be transferred to a Thai bank account.
