TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion clarifies whether selecting 'Savings' as the reason for a Wise transfer to fund a 12-month visa in Thailand is acceptable. It was highlighted that for an extension using the 800k baht method, it is not necessary for the funds to come from abroad. Additionally, other options such as 'funds for long-term stay' may be more appropriate for visa applications, especially if it relates to a Non-O visa based on marriage.

Last option in the choices, funds for long term stay, although if for a Non O based on marriage the funds don't need to originate from abroad.

For an extension of stay using the 800k baht method you don't need to show the funds come from overseas
