Is it better to use an agent for the DTV remote working Visa application or apply myself?

My wise accout is at my uk address is it safe there i use too transfer uk too thailand

I use kapook, for many years, always been reliable.

Chase Bank, Fidelity and Schwab all do wire transfers online. I've found Chase the easiest. Once I set it up for an international transfer to my Kasikorn bank account it was VERY easy to do any future transfers right from my phone...

Wise sucks

Closed why?

You should change your residence address to Europe. Everyone was informed 3 month ago

Recent law changes have effected Wise and similar platforms. Especially those from the US. If you had a fully verified account before then no issue but otherwise have an issue. Have to read the email notices you get. Not WISE's fault likely. They have to comply.

Must be for accounts registered in Thailand. Mine is fine.

Try; Tap tap Send or ACE?

I have Wise account (registered in the Netherlands) and don’t have (yet) any issues with transferring money from Europe to Thailand.

Yeah why is this a bit dodgy just before the war I sent a large amount of money from my Russian bank account to my wife's account and when I got to Canada I sent it from Wise account to a regular Canadian bank account that's when the alarm bells went off and they shut my account down of course it was no hanky panky it was all legitimate money that I made in Russia I had the documentation but they still weren't satisfied and close my account down which is unfortunate because I liked wise that's the one aspect of life which a big boys want to control is banking

Wise get registered in Thailand, so you can only have a local thai account with wise. That is okay when transferring a small pension - its auto converted to baht. But if you have a UK account with money in the interest bearing pots, When they find out you are a tax resident they will close the account - transfer all to a wise local account. Then you get no interest, which is why I am looking for an alternative as well.

ps. I am trying to minimize accessing my account, trying not to withdraw, use my wife's account sparingly until I find an alternative

USD Salary goes into my WISE USD, then I transfer my chosen amount to my UK REVOLUT account, then transfer from REVOLUT to my Thai account. I do it regularly and bizarrely its cheaper via REVOLUT than it is sending the payments direct from the WISE to Thai..

Why are Wise closing accounts?

Had the same thing happen, been transferring for about 2 years, onto the Thai account. Stopped, no reason given.

No use Remity, great service. And lots cheaper charge and give a better rate.

Just don't keep a balance with these services. Fund the acct then move it all until the next one.

@John ********

reading these comments is a concern for your account

XE.com

I am going to stick to cash and my ING bank card which waves the currency exchange and ATM fee. I have a WISE card but am yet to use it after reading of the hassles with WISE in this country.

try monzo is basically the same as wise put up charge as charge you when transferring to thai and even more when sending

Same problems : after using Wise monthly for 8+ years to transfer rent money from the US to my Thai bank. After many attempts to organize my account with Wise, I went onto XE, transferred my money with no problem whatsoever.

Xe works fine for me

Sendwave is excellent

Revolut is good, and it's a proper bank as well.

I plan to use remitly

They did same to me a while ago, I just switched to a Revolut account I already had.

Using for years never happened

Is your account registered in Thailand? They have changed the rules associated with these accounts.

i had remitly just close my account for no reason if you transfer and travel a lot they closed and couldn’t tell me why , could show prove of all money transferred and no scams and still waiting on 1400 had sitting on there wallet .

I sent one in the morning a smaller amount, then did a larger transfer and its like paused. I have been using them for years and have done some very sizeable transfers prior. I dont know what is going on

This is a bit worrying if wise are checking residency. Soon we will have no choice but to have our pension paid directly to our Thai bank.

I find Remitly is the best of all the various serives I have used in the past

Starling or Revolut

business or personal account?

Remitly

Remitly is the same as wise competitive exchange rates and low fees

You can do a direct international wire transfer from your home Country bank to your Thai bank. That's what I do anyway because my USA bank doesn't charge me to make the transfer.

I had my Wise account locked after using it without incident for over 7 years.

Wise started using A.I. Bots 🤖 algorithm to scan transactions.

I contacted customer service agent and was informed that my account would be reactivated when I supplied copy of my passport ( already on file )

6mths worth of bank statements,

Driver’s licence ( already on file )

Letter from my conveyancer about sale and disbursement of funds from my house.

I asked for how long and where all this information was stored and was directed to the Wise website about the conditions when I applied to use Wise.

Basically in a nutshell ( for me, the amount of personal data they wished to harvest from me; I was concerned that Identity Theft was likely in the event of their servers being hacked )

I now use Tap Tap Send to move my money from my home country to my Thai bank accounts.

Look on WISE fb account for info bud

Ive noticed wise underquote the transfer price at first, before they add in the extras that is, im sure they never used to, watch for it. Revolut is better

Deposit a check every month in Thailand bank from my bank overseas slow but never fails

They don’t send when it’s raining.

Transferred today 3 times.13 pounds to send each time.wrong.

4th time ok
